Ingredients
- 500 grams squid rings
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 large egg
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the squid rings under cold running water and pat them dry using paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Dip each squid ring into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture to coat evenly. Gently shake off any excess coating.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 2-3 inches deep, ensuring the squid rings can be completely submerged during frying.
Step 6
To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of the coated flour mixture into the oil; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is at the right temperature.
Step 7
Carefully place a few squid rings in the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the squid rings, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 8
Remove the fried squid rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining squid rings.
Step 9
Serve the crispy squid rings immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing and enjoy your Paleo-friendly seafood delight!
