[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Robin's Fancy Fried Gator[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ingredients:
3 pounds fresh gator tail, cubed
4 cups canola oil
For the egg wash:
  • 4 beaten eggs
  • 1/2 cup millk
  • Louisiana hot sauce to taste
For the dry mix:
  • 3 cups Drakes Crispy Fry mix
  • 2 cups Vigo Italian style bread crumbs
  • 3 tbsp dry parsley
  • 4 tblsp Everglades season mix
  • 4 tblsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tblsp dry thyme
  • 1 tblsp dry dill
  • Cayenne and black pepper to taste
  • Cajun spice

[/FONT]Start with 3 pounds of fresh gator tail cut into 2 inch cubes. Wash each piece and drop into a mixture of flour and Cajun spice. Drop the meat directly from the flour into the egg wash. From there cover completely in the dry mix. When no meat can be seen through the dry mix, you are ready to fry those babies up! Deep fry until they float in pure canola oil. Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with Cajun spice just out of the oil.
