Fritto Misto Ingredients

Method

Fritto Misto Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Coat the Seafood

    Dip each piece of calamari and shrimp first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat them in the bread crumbs. Set aside on a plate.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Seafood

    Carefully place the breaded calamari and shrimp in the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes for shrimp and 3-4 minutes for calamari. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with tomato basil marinara and basil roasted garlic aioli on the side.
