Fried Seafood Ingredients

Method

Fried Seafood Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Dredge the Seafood

    Dip the shrimp and fish fillets first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated. Set aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Seafood

    Carefully add the breaded shrimp and fish to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes for shrimp and 4-5 minutes for fish. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried shrimp and fish hot with lemon wedges on the side.
