Seafood Basket Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Cook the frozen French fries according to package instructions. Set aside once done.

  2. 2

    Make the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, mix the coleslaw mix with coleslaw dressing until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Coat the Seafood

    Dip the shrimp and oysters first in the beaten eggs mixed with milk, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Seafood

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated shrimp and oysters in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried shrimp and oysters hot with the fries and coleslaw on the side.
