Southern Fried Lobster And Shrimp Skewers Recipes

SOUTHERN FRIED LOBSTER AND SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat oil to 325 degrees F.
• Remove leaves from the rosemary 5 inches from base of stem to make skewers. Whip the eggs in a small bowl. In a another bowl, combine the flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. On each skewer, place 2 shrimp, 1-ounce lobster meat, and 2 shrimp. Repeat this for all skewers. Roll each skewer in seasoned flour, then egg, then flour again and repeat this on each skewer twice, making sure to only coat the lobster and shrimp. Check temperature on oil and begin frying. Fry each skewer for 4 to 5 minutes or until batter is golden brown. Serve.

SOUTHERN LOBSTER AND SHRIMP MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni and 1/2 cup dried onion in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until macaroni is tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Place lobster and shrimp in a colander. Pour the cooked pasta and onions over shellfish; let drain.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Warm evaporated milk and cream slowly in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour. Whisk eggs together in a small bowl.
• Cook sauce until small bubbles form. Add sauce very slowly, 1/4 cup at a time, to the bowl with the eggs, being careful not to cook and scramble the eggs. Slowly mix the egg-cream mixture back into the pan. Continue cooking on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until thick and smooth, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Melt 1 stick of butter in the pot used to cook the pasta over medium heat. Add flour; cook until roux thickens and turns caramel in color, about 5 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, until mostly melted, about 4 minutes. Pour in the cream sauce and stir until smooth.
• Stir pasta, lobster, and shrimp into the cheese and cream sauce to coat completely. Pour mac and cheese into a 9x11-inch baking dish.
• Melt another stick of butter in the saucepan used to make the sauce. Add onion seasoning and herbes de Provence; stir. Add crackers. Cook and stir over medium heat until coating mixture is lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Cover mac and cheese with thin pats of butter. Top with the cracker coating.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is crispy and cheeses are melted, about 1 hour.
