Tonight's Dinner: Seafood Combo Platter -- with Crab Cake, Calamari, and Butterflied Shrimp! Accompanied by Homemade Cole Slaw and Fresh Cut Fries. Homemade Crab Cakes, sort of like making tuna salad - can of lump crab meat drained, minced celery & onion, a dab of mayo, some seasonings - dill, parsley, garlic powder, salt & pepper and enough bread crumbs to hold it all together in cakes when formed. Pan grill over medium low heat until browned, flip, repeat. Served with butter-wine sauce. Calamari or Squid Strips. I got a package of Squid Steaks, they're cut from large squid instead of the rings cut from small squid. I cut one of the squid steaks into ½inch wide strips, about the same width as the squid was thick. 3-step breading - flour/corn starch, egg wash, Panko - then quickly deep fried. Served with Marinara sauce. Butterflied Shrimp were Large, not Jumbo! Breaded in same process as squid, and flash deep fried for about a minute and a half. Serve with hot & sour Cocktail Sauce - typical cocktail sauce - ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire, Tabasco mix but with extra Tabasco & horseradish, and a goodly shot of Lime juice instead of lemon. Fries were cut from Russet Potato and double-fried - fry until starting to brown, pull and drain, let rest while shredding Cabbage and Carrots for Slaw. Then plunge fries back into hot oil for a few more minutes to crisp & brown for serving with Sriracha Mayo. #TonightsDinner #Seafood #Platter #CrabCake #Calamari #Squid #Shrimp #Homemade #ColeSlaw #FreshCutFrenchFries
