Fritto Misto Ingredients

Method

Fritto Misto Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the olive oil to 180°C (350°F).

  3. 3

    Bread the Seafood and Vegetables

    Dredge the shrimp, calamari, scallops, smelts, and zucchini in the flour mixture until well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry in Batches

    Carefully drop the breaded seafood and zucchini into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes for seafood and 3-4 minutes for zucchini.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried items and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
