They are considered a seafood delicacy and this recipe allows for a hassle-free and delicious way to enjoy them at home.

1.	In a small bowl, mix the cheriyaki glaze, Worcestershire sauce, mirin and soy sauce.
2.	Brush the mixture over both sides of the cleaned soft-shell crabs.
3.	Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and add the crabs.
4.	Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the shell turns crisp and golden.
