The Seafood Feast

Fried Shrimp

Rinse all seafood under cold water. Remove any beards from mussels and clams. Set aside.

Prepare the Seafood

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for 8-10 minutes, until they turn bright red. Remove and set aside to cool, then slice in half lengthwise.

Cook the Lobster

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add shrimp, mussels, clams, and squid. Cook for 5-7 minutes until shrimp are pink and mussels and clams have opened.

Sauté the Seafood

Gently mix in the lobster tails and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Serve immediately in a large bowl with crusty bread on the side.

Prepare the Shrimp

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Make the Batter

In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until well combined. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Combine Wet Ingredients

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

Heat the Oil

Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

Fry the Shrimp

Remove the fried shrimp from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
