Dipping Sauce Ingredients

Method

Fritter Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fritter Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

  3. 3

    Fold in Seafood and Vegetables

    Gently fold in the Florida pink shrimp, blue crab meat, chopped green onions, and minced garlic into the batter until evenly incorporated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Fritters

    Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Dipping Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Stir until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
