Instructions

1 Make the remoulade. Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl and
refrigerate until ready to use. Discard the garlic clove just before using.
2 Being careful not to overwork the meat, form the chuck into 4 patties. Season
each with salt and pepper. Make an indentation on each patty with your thumb.
3 For the crabs, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper on a
plate. Dredge each crab in the flour mixture. Heat butter in a skillet, place
the crabs in the pan, top shell side down. Flip each crab after 3 minutes and
cook the other side for an additional 3 minutes or until the crabs are red.
4 Cook the burgers. Heat a cast iron pan until very hot. Add a pat of butter and
then the patties, indentation side down. Flip after 3 minutes and cook until
desired doneness (I like medium rare).
5 When the burgers are done cooking, transfer them to a plate and place the buns
in the pan cut side down for a light toasting. Assemble the burgers. Bun,
remoulade, arugula, burger, tomato, crab, more remoulade if wanted, top bun.
6 Enjoy the ENTIRE thing!
