Kevin’s Asian Scallops:

1lb Scallops (larger ones)
Cilantro
Sesame Seed Oil
Garlic
Olive Oil
Lime Juice
Lettuce
Red, Yellow and Green Bell Peppers
Cayenne Pepper
Red onions
Scallions
Limes

Rinse clean and place two big lettuce leaves on plate, set aside
Slice bell pepper length wise, about one cups worth, place on lettuce
Finely chop garlic, tablespoon worth, set aside
Clean rinse and finely chop Cilantro, about ¼ cup worth set aside
Chop red onions, about 1 square inch, set aside
Chop scallion into small pieces, set aside for final garnish
Cut limes in half, set aside
Season only one side of Scallops with black pepper, and sea salt

Time to cook:

Heat (medium heat)skillet until hot, place ¼ cup of olive oil in pan
Throw in onions, let them begin to caramelize (don’t burn them)
Then toss in garlic, cilantro, and a hint of Cayenne pepper, stir for a minute
Place Scallops in pan pepper side down
Sprinkle about a teaspoon worth of Sesame Oil in pan
Toss in Cilantro
Turn Scallops once
Squeeze in lime juice from half cut limes
The Scallops take about 3 minutes each side, but test first by pushing down on them.

Place scallops on lettuce, pour excess sauce on top of Scallops, and garnish with a little scallion.

Lamont's Spicy (but not too hot) Fried Catfish

Catfish Fillet's-3lbs

Rinse off catfish, pat dry with paper towel, set aside
In a bowl (bowl #1) put in, Cayenne pepper, white pepper and black pepper, garlic powder
and a dash of salt
Pour about a pan's worth of oil. I use deep a cast iron pot

Up next, the "Three Bowl Dip"

Crack 2 -3 eggs in a bowl (bowl #2) and whip them up really well, squeeze a little lemon juice there
In another bowl (bowl #3) put one box of potato buds in it
One at a time, season catfish fillets in the dry spice combo then dip them in the egg lemon mixture, then coat them with the buds and place them in the hot oil for deep fried happiness
Once they float to the top you can take them out, and place them on a plate with a paper towel on it
