Seafood Beignets

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, crab meat, and diced andouille sausage. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk. Add the chopped green onions.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the seafood mixture until evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Fry the Beignets

    Using a spoon or small scoop, drop the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve warm with remoulade sauce on the side.
