Seafood and Toppings

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a bowl, combine the mixed seafood with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Dredge each piece of marinated seafood in the flour mixture, ensuring it's well-coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Seafood

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated seafood in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    In a bowl, combine the sliced onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well to create a fresh topping.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the fried seafood and generously top it with the onion, tomato, cilantro mixture. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
