Directions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Set aside.
Lightly coat the soft shell crab in the seasoned flour, ensuring an even coverage. Shake off any excess flour.
In a small sauce pot, heat the canola oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.
Carefully place the dredged crab into the hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the crab from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Set aside.
In a bowl, toss the Frisée salad with the white balsamic vinaigrette and chopped chives. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together the Cloud23 Sweet Jalapeño Hot Sauce, lemon juice, mayonnaise, microplaned garlic, and salt until well combined.
Spoon the chili aioli onto a plate and spread it thinly to create a base. Place the dressed Frisée salad on top of the aioli. Finally, place the fried soft shell crab atop the salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy this crispy, flavorful dish with a kick of heat from the Cloud23 Sweet Jalapeño Aïoli.
