Motown Seafood Trio Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Seafood

   Start by preparing the lobster tails. Cut them in half lengthwise and remove any shell fragments. Clean the shrimp by peeling and deveining them. Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat dry.

2. 2

   Marinate in Buttermilk

   In a large bowl, pour the buttermilk over the lobster, shrimp, and catfish. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator.

3. 3

   Prepare the Breading

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Bread the Seafood

   Remove the seafood from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

6. 6

   Fry the Seafood

   Carefully place the breaded seafood into the hot oil. Fry the lobster tails for about 4-5 minutes, shrimp for about 2-3 minutes, and catfish for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried seafood from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces and lemon wedges.
