Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams squid rings
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 large egg
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the squid rings under cold running water and pat them dry using paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until thoroughly combined.
Dip each squid ring into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture to coat evenly. Gently shake off any excess coating.
Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 2-3 inches deep, ensuring the squid rings can be completely submerged during frying.
To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of the coated flour mixture into the oil; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is at the right temperature.
Carefully place a few squid rings in the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the squid rings, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the fried squid rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining squid rings.
Serve the crispy squid rings immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing and enjoy your Paleo-friendly seafood delight!
