Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large pieces Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams Calamari rings
- 300 grams Cod fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 350 ml Sparkling water
- 1 whole Lemon, sliced into wedges
- 500 ml Sunflower oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Gradually whisk in the sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter consistency. It should be thick enough to cling to the seafood without dripping excessively.
Pat the shrimp, calamari, and cod pieces dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
Dip each piece of seafood into the batter, ensuring they are completely coated, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes or until the seafood is golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Once all the seafood is fried, arrange them on a platter, and garnish with lemon wedges.
Serve immediately for the best texture and enjoy your Dairy-Free Fried Seafood Platter with your favorite dipping sauces.
