# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine chopped shrimp, shredded crab meat, and cheddar cheese until evenly mixed.
02 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper. In a small bowl, beat eggs with milk until smooth and slightly frothy, then incorporate the egg mixture into the flour mixture and whisk to a smooth batter.
03 -
Pour the batter over the seafood mixture and fold carefully with a spatula until the seafood is evenly coated and the mixture holds its shape when pressed. Adjust with a splash of milk or extra flour for proper consistency if required.
04 -
With clean, damp hands, form portions of the mixture into logs approximately 10 cm long and 2.5 cm thick, placing them on a parchment-lined plate.
05 -
Spread the crushed nacho-flavoured chips on a plate. Lightly brush each formed log with beaten egg or mist with water, then roll in the crushed chips, pressing gently to adhere an even coating.
06 -
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 175°C. Fry 2 to 3 logs at a time for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
07 -
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels for several minutes. Serve immediately with remoulade or garlic aioli, if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep hands damp to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping the logs.
