Fritto Misto

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the ice-cold water, mixing until you have a smooth batter.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil

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

  3. 3

    Coat the seafood

    Dredge the shrimp and scallops in the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  4. 4

    Fry the seafood

    Carefully add the battered shrimp and scallops to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the fritto misto hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
