- Stir in the shrimp pieces and crabmeat.
- Heat oil in pot over medium high heat. When hot, drop by tablespoons into the oil and fry until golden brown. You may need to reduce the heat of the oil if it is too hot. Test a small amount of batter first before frying the bulk. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
