Fry the Ingredients
Dredge the rock shrimp, calamari, onion, zucchini, and olives in the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
