Method
Preparation of Seafood
- 1
Rinse the shrimp, calamari, and white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- 2
If the calamari is not pre-cleaned, slice it into rings and remove the inner membrane.
Batter Preparation
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- 4
Gradually whisk in the ice-cold water until the batter is smooth and without lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the seafood.
Frying Seafood
- 5
In a deep pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Dip each piece of seafood into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off.
- 7
Carefully place the battered seafood into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- 8
Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the seafood is golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried seafood and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serving
- 9
Arrange the fried seafood on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley.
- 10
Serve immediately while hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
