Rinse crabs under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. Cook onion, celery, green pepper and garlic in margarine until tender. In a medium bowl, combine mixture with the next 8 ingredients. Place soft crabs in a shallow, lightly-oiled baking dish. Remove top shell from crabs and fill each cavity with 1 tablespoon stuffing mixture. Replace top shell. Brush crabs with remaining melted margarine. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until shells turn red and crabs brown slightly.
