Ingredients

Servings
  • 450 g (1lb) Shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 150 g (5oz) squid or calamari
  • 200 g (7oz) white fish
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper freshly cracked

For the lemon aioli

  • 2 egg yolk
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic minced/gratefd, clove
  • 2-3 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • ½ cup olive oil I used half olive oil and half avocado oil
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the seafood. Peel and devein the shrimp, cut the fish into chunks and make sure the calamari is clean.
  2. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
  3. Heat a large pot/Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add enough oil for frying. The oil is ready when it reads 180ºC/350ºF on a thermometer.
  4. Coat the seafood in the flour mixture, making sure every piece of seafood and fish is thoroughly coated then place on a wire rack set over a sheet pan.
  5. This can be done up to an hour ahead - simply dip the seafood in the flour mixture again right before frying. This will also create a slightly thicker, crunchier coating once fried. 
  6. Dust the excess flour off then fry the seafood in batches for 3-4 minutes until crisp and golden brown then remove with a slotted spoon and allow to drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve the fried seafood in a large platter with lemon wedges, chopped parsley and a small bowl of the lemon aioli for dipping. 

For the lemon aioli

  1. Add the egg yolk, mustard, grated garlic clove, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper to a tall jug.
  2. Place an immersion blender in the jug then pour in the oil.
  3. Start blending, pulling the blender up slowly to allow the oil to emulsify and continue blending until the aioli is completely emulsified.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
