I had some pork skin in my freezer and found the time to fry it up.

These were from the butcher, not my pigs..

boiled them for about 45 minutes to render any fat...I wanted them to be fluffy.

used a spoon to scrape off any excess fat or meat..

it was pretty tasty!! :becky:

I had to try an experiment.

I crushed some of the dried uncooked chicharron, and coated some shrimp..then fried til puffy.


These were insanely good. :becky:

Thanks for looking!
 
Like latino shrimp tempura, what a great idea! Slow down with all the good ideas, I can't keep up!
 
Looks really good Jeanie!

Love how you are always giving us new ideas, thanks!
 
I've been calling you Jeanius for a while now. Glad these guys are finally catching on.:thumb:

That is an Einstein move with the pork skin coated skrimps. Maaavelous, Daaaling!:hug:
 
Crazy good! Def will be frying some shrimp and more up like that:thumb:
 
Sooner or later I will learn not to open your threads when I get to work in the morning. Now I'm drooling and all I have right now is a Jimmy Dean Croissant and a little ole ham sandwich for lunch. It's going to be an awful long day. :becky:

Very nice, Miss Jean!
Question: how much oil is in your Dutch oven? Is there just enough to cover the bottom or did you deep-fry those skins? Can't quite tell.
As usual, you inspire us with your creativity!
