Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplant into medallions approximately 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Fry the Eggplant

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Once hot, fry the eggplant medallions for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Seafood Mixture

    In a separate skillet, heat a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and crawfish, cooking for about 5-6 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, create a bed of pasta. Layer the fried eggplant medallions on top, followed by the shrimp and crawfish mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
