Clean crabs by rinsing in cold water as you remove the gills, apron, and mouth. Season crabs with salt and pepper. In a saute pan over medium heat, heat oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the crabs to the hot pan, back-side down and saute over medium heat. Turn them with a spatula to cook the other side when they are crisp and browned. When they are completely cooked, about 3 minutes each side, remove to a warm platter. Add the capers and remaining butter to the pan and brown 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and parsley to the hot pan and pour over the crabs on the platter or on individual plates. Serve on a bed of smashed new potatoes with lots of fresh chopped parsley and olive oil. This recipe yields 4 servings.
