Deep Fried Flounder and Shrimp

These flounder filets were covered with panko and fried.  Panko is a Japanese style breadcrumb used as a coating for deep fried foods.  Panko makes everything nice and crispy, you can use it on shrimp, chicken and pork chops.

I fried the flounder in a deep frier.  The crust was extra crunchy,  and the flounder was very tasty.  What I like about flounder filets is that they don't taste fishy.

Ingredients:

4 flounder filets washed and patted dried

1 1/2 pounds of shrimps cleaned and deveined 

1 cup of panko

1/2 tsp of garlic powder

1/2 tsp of onion powder

1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper

1 tsp of salt

1/4 tsp of black pepper

1 cup of milk

In a bowl mix the panko, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Dip filets in milk then into the mixture of spices.  I used a deep fryer, but if you don't have one use a frying pan.  Heat oil to 375, very hot but not smoking. Drop filets into the dip fryer. Cook for about 2 minute until they are nice and golden brown.

Do the same for the shrimps, dip them in the milk and then the panko. Fry them for about a minute, until golden brown.  I really enjoyed these shrimps..this is the way I like them.
