Method

Preparation of Seafood

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Peel and devein the shrimp. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Crab

    If using whole crab, steam or boil for about 15-20 minutes until cooked. If using pre-cooked crab legs, simply thaw them.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fish

    Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add a little oil, and cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily with a fork.

Preparation of Fries

  1. 4

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into thin wedges or sticks.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Carefully add the potato wedges and fry until golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Preparation of Dipping Sauce

  1. 6

    Mix the Dipping Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until smooth and serve as a dipping sauce.

Serving

  1. 7

    Assemble the Platter

    On a large serving platter, arrange the cooked shrimp, crab legs, and fish fillets. Serve alongside the crispy fries and the dipping sauce.
