Fish and Shrimp

Sauces and Sides

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Coat the Fish and Shrimp

    Dip each fish filet and shrimp into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture. Make sure they are evenly coated.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Fry the Fish and Shrimp

    Carefully add the coated fish filets and shrimp to the hot oil. Fry in batches if necessary, until golden brown and cooked through (about 3-4 minutes per side for fish, 2-3 minutes per side for shrimp).

  3. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried fish and shrimp and let drain on paper towels. Serve hot with tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and coleslaw on the side.
