Fried alligator nuggets don't get any easier than this and they are restaurant-quality. Serve with cocktail sauce, Sriracha, mayo, whole grain mustard, or any dipping sauce you choose.
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- ounces seasoned crispy fish fry seafood breading mix , Louisiana® brand
- 1 pound Louisiana alligator prime filet
Instructions

1
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2
Pour fish fry mix into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add alligator nuggets, reseal the bag, and shake to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Shake the bag again.

3
Place half of seasoned alligator nuggets in the deep fryer. Cook until golden brown and nuggets float to the top of the oil, about 3 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Using tongs, transfer nuggets to a paper-towel lined plate.

Chef John's Shrimp Toast
These savory shrimp toasts are a fantastic appetizer for a cocktail party. While virtually unknown compared to most other popular fried party snacks, they're easy to make and every bit as delicious, and addictive, as those Buffalo wings or jalapeño poppers.
Southern Ham and Brown Beans
This Southern pinto beans recipe with ham is the same one my mother's side of the family has been making for years, but I've added my own special touch. This recipe is also very good with diced ham and a can of chopped green chiles added. Serve it with cornbread, fried potatoes, and fried cabbage.
Mushroom-Steak Diane
