Now if that isn't the best blog post title ever!! Anyway, we were at Sam's Club a while back and made an impulse purchase of some chicken/fish seasoning mix for frying (Lefty's Spices). We were very excited to use it with our new deep fryer that we bought!!
So we bought some shrimp, oysters and frog legs and decided to have a proper Fry-day!! (hehe!) We simply took the meats, marinated them in a bit of the spice mix and water for a few hours, then battered them in spice mix/flour, followed by egg and then dipped in panko. There was also a pickle that got the same treatment. Towards the end, we ran out of panko, so some of the shrimp and all of the oysters didn't get a panko topping. They still turned out delicious!

The deep fryer we bought is awesome- the husband did a great job picking that one out! It is super easy to clean and set up, and it doesn't splatter during cooking. We found that the shrimp and frog cooked a lot quicker than we thought they would. I guess it goes to show that 'frying' in our dutch oven without steady control of the heat probably wasn't the most efficient way to fry. The shrimp take about 2-3 minutes, and the frog legs about 4-5 minutes. We did a few batches of each, taking care not to overload the fryer. Super easy!!
