Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams calamari rings
- 300 grams white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 large egg
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups avocado oil, for frying
- 4 for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
Prepare the seafood by patting the shrimp, calamari, and fish fillets dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs together with the heavy cream until smooth.
Dip each piece of seafood first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat avocado oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Use enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan to about 1 inch deep.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add battered seafood to the pan in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side for shrimp and calamari, and about 4 minutes per side for thicker fish fillets, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove seafood from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining seafood, ensuring the oil is hot before each batch.
Serve the fried seafood platter hot, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
