Ingredients
Seafood
Breading
Frying
Dipping Sauce
Preparation
1. Prepare the Seafood
Rinse the calamari rings and shrimp under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2. Make the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
Breading the Seafood
3. Mix Breading Ingredients
In a large shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
4. Coat the Seafood
Take each calamari ring and shrimp, and dredge them in the breading mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Frying
5. Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
6. Fry the Seafood
Carefully add the breaded calamari and shrimp to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain Excess Oil
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried seafood and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serving
8. Plate and Serve
Arrange the fried calamari and shrimp on a serving platter. Serve hot with the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
