They sell it at Homeland or other smaller grocery stores more than at WalMart. It's good stuff for items that need some heat.

Academy even has it.

If you like shrimp cocktail you better cook alot this.

Damn it TimY, now I am going to have to try this because it got my mouth watering. Love shrimp cocktail and love Zatarans crab boil. now off to catch me some crappie and to get me some crab boil!

Most of the time with any fresh fish I simply salt and pepper and then cook it lightly in some melted butter. Sometimes I change it up and dip in a milk/egg wash, coat with something and then drop in the fryer but my family generally prefers it the first way.

Tried this recipe the other day and was really impressed. Will be using it as one of my go to recipes.

2 eggs
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup milk
1/4 cup hot sauce(this is optional and I left it out due to family not liking spicy food)
1/2 stick butter
2 to 4 lbs crappie
1 cup flour
1 cup corn meal
cracked pepper
salt
oil

Combine eggs, cream, milk and hot sauce in bowl. Melt butter and pour in as well. Mix and then submerge fillets. Soak in fridge for 2-4 hours

Combine flour and corn meal in large Ziploc bag. Shake to mix dry ingredients.

After fillets have marinated coat with salt and pepper to liking and then put fillets in flour/corn meal bag and shake well.

Fry fillets however you chose. I fry in a deep fryer around 425 degrees or so for several minutes.

Sea salt, lemon pepper and let sit for an hour. Wrap fillets in bacon. Grill till bacon gets crispy. Enjoy

I experimented around a bit in the kitchen last night trying to to come up with a good non-fried recipe. I hit on one. Pat dry fillets, salt, coat with roasted pineapple and habanero sauce from sams club, cover both sides with coconut flakes. Broil uncovered on 500 for 6 min, cover fillets loosely with a piece of foil and bake 2 more min., do not turn over. Salty & sweet with a little bit of heat, Oh-my!

crappie tacos:

add salt and pepper to fillets. Batter- 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 table spoon baking powder, 1 table spoon corn starch, salt and pepper. Mix. On separate bowl. Mix beer and 1 egg. Mix beer and egg with flour mixture. Dip fillets and fry. Heat corn tortillas on skillet or directly on the stove fire. Make pico de gallo which is jalapeno,cilantro,tomato and fresh squeezed lime juice. Enjoy. Beer battered crappie tacos.
