Fried Tilapia and Deep Friend Colossal Shrimp with Potato Wedges

Ingredients:

1 cup of all-purpose flour

1 cup of cornmeal

¾ cup of Adobo seasoning salt

2 pounds of colossal shrimp

4 pounds of filet tilapia

4-5 pounds peeled potatoes

½ gallon cooking oil

Steps:

1) Mix the cups of flour and cornmeal in a gallon sized Ziplock bag with the seasoning salt. Shake up the ingredients evenly.

2) Take the shrimp and place them in a colander, after they are peeled and rinsed off. So the same with the tilapia filets.

3) Place the shrimp inside of the Ziplock bag of flour mixture and shake it until the shrimp are coated evenly. Do the same with the tilapia filet.

4) While coating the shrimp and tilapia evenly in the flour mixture, heat the cooking oil until the oil reaches its highest temperature.

5) Drop the coated pieces of tilapia into the hot oil, remove the filets when the filets float to the top of the fryer.

6) Follow the same procedure with the shrimp.

7) Use a tin foil pan on an aluminum pan lined with 7-8 paper towels to drain the grease off of each individual piece.

8) Use the same colander and rinse the potatoes. Take a peeler and peel each potato, then cut each into wedges.

9) Place the potatoes into the flour mixture Ziplock bag and shake it to coat each one evenly.

10) Use the same method that was used with the seafood to fry the potatoes.

11) place the potatoes into a separate tin foil pan lined with paper towels and let it stand for 5-6 minutes before serving.
