Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Breading

In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

2

Make the Batter

In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

3

Coat the Scallops

Dip each scallop first into the batter and then into the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

4

Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

Fry the Scallops

Carefully place the coated scallops into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

6

Drain and Serve

Remove the scallops from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
