Pecan Crusted Fried Shrimp and Oysters

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Breading

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of cornmeal, chopped pecans, salt, and black pepper in the third.

2

Bread the Shrimp and Oysters

Dredge each shrimp in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with the pecan cornmeal mixture. Repeat for the oysters.

3

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

4

Fry the Shrimp and Oysters

Fry shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat for oysters, frying for about 1-2 minutes.

5

Prepare Beurre Blanc

In a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup white wine, 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, and 1 shallot, simmer until reduced by half. Lower the heat and whisk in 1 cup of cold unsalted butter, piece by piece, until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.

6

Serve

On a platter, arrange the fried shrimp, oysters, and jumbo lump crab. Drizzle with beurre blanc and serve immediately.
