Fish and Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Wet Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish and Shrimp

    Dip each whiting fillet and jumbo shrimp into the wet mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the dry mixture until fully coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish and Shrimp

    Carefully place the coated whiting fillets and jumbo shrimp into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes for the shrimp and 6-8 minutes for the fish, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fish and shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
