Method

Preparation of Seafood

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    Rinse the shrimp, calamari, and white fish fillets under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the cold water and beaten egg. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter.

Frying

  1. 3

    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).

  2. 4

    Coat the Seafood

    Dip each piece of seafood into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

  3. 5

    Fry the Seafood

    Carefully place the battered seafood into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the seafood and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Arrange the fried seafood on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot.
