Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh crab meat
- 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 180 milliliters Cold sparkling water
- 1 large Egg
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
- 1 for serving Fresh lemon wedges
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well blended.
Step 2
Add the cold sparkling water and the egg to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until you achieve a smooth batter. Be cautious not to overmix.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large, deep saucepan to 180°C (350°F). Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
Step 4
Pat the crab meat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Gently fold the crab meat into the batter, ensuring that all pieces are well coated.
Step 5
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully submerge several pieces of the battered crab meat into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid crowding the pot.
Step 6
Fry the crab pieces for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the fried crab from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining crab pieces.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried crab hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges. Enjoy!
