Fried Crab Claws

Step 1

Heat oil in a heavy skillet or pot and bring it to 350°F.

Step 2

Add the eggs, milk, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and 1 teaspoon of the Creole seasoning to a small mixing bowl, and whisk well to combine.

Step 3

Add the flour, cornmeal, corn starch and other 1 teaspoon of Creole seasoning to another large mixing bowl and mix well.

Step 4

Take the crab claws and dip into the egg mixture (egg wash).

Step 5

Dip into the flour mixture to coat well and put onto a plate until they're all coated.

Step 6

Once the vegetable oil has reached 350°F on a frying thermometer drop the crab claws in. Move them around a little with your slotted spoon so they don't stick together. Remove after about 3 minutes. They'll be a nice golden brown in color.

Step 7

Allow to drain on a plate lined with paper towels then serve with your favorite dip/ cocktail sauce.
