Alma Fritchies Crab And Chips Recipes

Steps:

• For the mayonnaise: In a large bowl, add egg yolks, lemon juice and hot sauce. Whisk to combine. Slowly begin adding the oil while whisking constantly, making sure oil is fully incorporating and stopping frequently until each little bit is emulsified into the egg yolk mixture. If it becomes too thick, a little drizzle of water can be added as necessary until all of the oil has been incorporated. When all of the oil has been whisked in, and the mayonnaise is creamy and luscious, season to taste with salt. Set aside.
• For the shrimp chips: Heat 2 inches of oil in a 6-quart saucepan. Clip in a deep-fry thermometer and heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Fry the shrimp chips until puffy, about 1 minute. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
• For the crab and assembly: Place 3/4 of the crab in a mixing bowl and toss with 3 or 4 tablespoons of the homemade mayonnaise. Serve dressed crab alongside the remaining undressed crab with a bowl of the mayonnaise and a pile of shrimp chips on the side. Garnish with celery sticks and orange slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Spread the potato chips onto a baking sheet or ovenproof serving platter and bake to warm the chips, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle a light layer of the crab boil seasoning evenly over the chips. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Prepare your preferred method for frying french fries, such as oil on a stovetop, countertop fryer or air fryer at 350 degrees F.
• Drop the frozen fries into the oil and cook for 8 minutes (if you prefer a little extra-crisp, cook for an additional 2 minutes). Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Season with the Fry Seasoning to taste. Drizzle with the Char Grill Butter and toss until the fries are all covered.
• To a bowl or plate of your choice, add a layer of fries, an even layer of the Char Grill Cheese, lump crab and a drizzle of the Crab Mayo on top, then repeat the process.
• In a medium bowl, combine the paprika, salt, chili powder, granulated garlic and cayenne. Stir with a whisk until all ingredients are incorporated. Store in an airtight container, up to 1 month.
• In a medium stockpot, combine the butter, lemon juice, garlic, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt, granulated garlic, liquid smoke and 1/2 cup water. Melt the butter on low heat, then turn the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. (Be sure not to bring the mixture to a boil.) Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
• Combine the Parmesan, mozzarella, granulated garlic and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until chopped into small pieces. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
• In a large bowl, combine the parsley, onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce, honey and seafood seasoning until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

Steps:

• In a large bowl add all ingredients until blended, being careful not to shred crab meat. Serve in a mold on a chilled plate, garnish with plantain chips and sliced avocado.

Steps:

• Pulse or blend shallots, lemongrass, ginger, chile, garlic, tomato paste, sugar, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ½ cup water in a food processor or blender until a coarse purée forms.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Scrape purée into pan and cook, stirring often, until mixture darkens and thickens to the consistency of tomato paste, 12-15 minutes. If it begins to stick and brown, stir in a little water (about 1 Tbsp.), scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. (You should have about ⅔ cup.)
• Transfer mixture to a small bowl and vigorously mix in cream cheese and mayonnaise. Stir in crabmeat, half of the scallions, and half of the cilantro. Taste dip and season with more salt if needed.
• Transfer dip to a serving bowl. Top with remaining scallions and cilantro, then with fried shallots (if using). Serve with shrimp chips.
