Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Squid
- 100 grams Shrimp
- 1 large Egg
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Clean the squid thoroughly by removing the head, insides, and skin. Rinse well under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Chop the squid and shrimp into small pieces. Place them into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, but not a paste.
In a large bowl, combine the processed squid and shrimp mixture with the egg, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Mix everything well until everything is incorporated into a sticky dough.
Shape the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the squid balls to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the squid balls from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy, with your choice of dipping sauce.
