SHRIMP CHIPS

Steps:

• Add enough oil into pot or work being used for frying so that it is at least 1 inch deep. Heat oil to medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop in a few chips. Within a few seconds they should heat up and expand. As soon as they open up and expand, immediately remove them from the oil, otherwise they will start to burn and lose their color. Repeat until you finish your box or reach desired amount you want to make.

CRACKED CRAB, CHILI MAYONNAISE AND SHRIMP CHIPS

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.
