Pecans On Fire

1. 1

   Combine salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl, and set aside.

2. 2

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pecans, and blanch them for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and drain well. Transfer the hot pecans to a large bowl. Add confectioners' sugar, and toss well to coat.

3. 3

   Heat the oil slowly in a large, heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium heat to approximately 350 degrees. Carefully add the pecans in small batches (add slowly so the oil doesn't splatter), and fry until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove the pecans from the oil with a slotted spoon, and transfer to baking pan.

4. 4

   Season nuts with the pepper mixture. Let cool, and store in an airtight container.
