Ingredients

• 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 300 grams calamari rings
• 2 fillets white fish fillets, cut into strips
• 2 tablespoons low sodium Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 wedges lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, calamari, and fish strips. Add the low sodium Cajun seasoning, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Toss until the seafood is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl. In another bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, and baking powder.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 4

Dip each piece of seafood first into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then into the flour and cornmeal mixture, coating it well and shaking off any excess.

Step 5

Gently place the coated seafood into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each batch for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried seafood to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Sprinkle the fried seafood with chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 8

Serve the fried seafood platter hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
