Ingredients
- 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams calamari rings
- 300 grams white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 large egg
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups avocado oil, for frying
- 4 for serving lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the seafood by patting the shrimp, calamari, and fish fillets dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs together with the heavy cream until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each piece of seafood first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 5
Heat avocado oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Use enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan to about 1 inch deep.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully add battered seafood to the pan in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side for shrimp and calamari, and about 4 minutes per side for thicker fish fillets, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove seafood from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining seafood, ensuring the oil is hot before each batch.
Step 9
Serve the fried seafood platter hot, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
