PORK CHOPS WITH BROWNED GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE ( CAJUN )
This is a Paul Prudhomme recipe I got many years ago in a Tabasco cookbook. Really good, company always loves it. I've also posted a recipe of my own, inspired by this one for when I crave the taste but don't have the time. Not quite as wonderful as this one, but great when you are in a hurry and a bit healthier as it's not breaded and fried.

Steps:
- Combine all the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the chops with some of the seasoning mix, patting in on with your hands (use about 2/3 of the mixture).
- Add the remaining seasoning mix to the flour and place on a flat plate.
- Heat 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, about 2 minutes.
- Just before frying, dredge each chop in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Fry in hot oil until dark golden brown and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels.
- In a very small pan, heat the butter over high heat until half melted, shaking the pan almost constantly.
- Add the garlic and continue to cook until the butter is melted and the foam on the surface is barely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently. Be careful not to burn the butter.
- Add the Tabasco and continue to cook until the sauce is lightly browned and very foamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and drizzle over the chops. Serve immediately.

CAJUN-STYLE FILLET OF CATFISH WITH SPICY BUTTER SAUCE
This works well with Talipia also. I didn't have bread to make fresh crumbs from once and used packaged crumbs but I much prefer the fresh crumbs. If you don't have fresh herbs, use half the amounts listed of dried herbs (but fresh is best).
