Instructions

  1. Pound the conch with a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy pan between two sheets of cling film to tenderise and flatten it.
  2. Mix the flour with the paprika, salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
  3. Beat the eggs with the milk in a second dish, and spread the breadcrumbs in a third.
  4. Dip each slice of conch in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly.
  5. Heat the oil in a pan to about 170 °C and fry the escalopes for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden.
  6. Drain on kitchen paper, squeeze over lime juice and serve with the rice and peas.

Variations and tips

Spicy version. Add cayenne pepper to the breadcrumbs for a more fiery crust.
