Famous Dave's Blackened Catfish & Shrimp

The recipe is part of a collection of "Down Home" cooking in Dave's
fabulous book Famous Dave's Backroads and Sidestreets (proceeds from the
book benefit charity).

1 cup Cajun Dynamite Dust 
4 catfish fillets
12 shrimp (26-30 count), peeled
2 Tbsp butter 

Serves 4 

Place the Cajun Dynamite Dust seasoning on a flat plate. Coat each catfish 
fillet and shrimp with seasoning. Using your hands, rub the seasoning into
the 
fish and shrimp. 

Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, add butter and
heat until sizzling. Add catfish and shrimp and pan fry until blackened on
both sides, turning once. OR (and Dave recommends this second method
unless you have a high-draft commercial type exhaust hood on your stove) 
Pan fry catfish and shrimp as directed over hot coals on a grill outside. 
Serve on a bed of Red Beans and Rice.
