Sautéed Flounder with Shrimp ( Stegt Rodspaette)
4 Flounder fillets, 1/2 lb ea.
Salt
Flour
1/2 cup Bread crumbs, dried
2 med. Eggs
2 Tbsp. Water |
8 Tbsp. Butter (1 stick)
2 Tbsp. Vegetable oil
1/2 lb. Shrimp, cooked, small, peeled and deveined
Lemon wedges |
Rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Salt lightly, dip in flour and shake off excess. Spread the bread crumbs
on wax paper. In a mixing bowl beat the eggs together with 2 tablespoons
of water, then dip each fillet into the egg mixture and coat each side
thoroughly with the bread crumbs. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes
before cooking. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in
a heavy 10-12" skillet over moderate heat. Add the shrimp and toss them
in the butter for 2 to 3 minutes until well coated. Place a line of the
shrimp down the center of each fillet. Melt the remaining butter over low
heat until it turns a rich, nutty brown, pour over the fish fillets and
garnish with lemon wedges. If you prefer, serve with a parsley sauce (see
recipe) in place of the shrimp and brown butter.
