01Preheat broiler and pat the crabs dry with paper towels.
02Combine about three-fourths cup flour with salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. Set aside.
03Cream the butter with the parsley, chives, tarragon and paprika, with salt to taste.
04Dredge the crabs lightly with the flour, shaking off excess. Place them on a broiler pan lined with foil and dot with creamed-butter mixture. Broil about three inches from heat, basting with the butter. Turn once and cook on the other side. They should take five to eight minutes.
