Seafood and Dipping Sauce

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dipping Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, and lime zest until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Toss the octopus, squid, and shrimp in the flour mixture until well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Seafood

    In a deep pan or fryer, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated seafood in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the fried seafood on a serving platter and serve immediately with the lime aioli on the side.
