Step 1
Dice red bell pepper and green onions into 1/4-inch pieces.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.

Add conch, bell pepper, green onions, flour, thyme, and cayenne to the bowl.

Step 8
Fry 2 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy outside.
Step 9
