  • Shrimp, peeled and deveined - 100g
  • Squid, cleaned and cut into rings - 100g
  • Almond flour - 100g

  • Sea salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - ½ teaspoon
  • Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic powder - ½ teaspoon
  • Lemon, for serving - 1
  • Olive oil, for frying - 500ml

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder to create the coating mixture.
  2. Cut the white fish fillets into bite-sized pieces and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Dredge the fish, shrimp, and squid in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  4. In a deep frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
  5. Carefully add the coated seafood pieces to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
  6. Fry the seafood for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
  7. Remove the fried seafood with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the seafood.
