Ingredients
Marinate Seafood
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- ½ pound large shrimp - peeled and deveined
- ½ pound firm white fish - cut in chunks
- ½ pound calamari rings or tubes - cut in thin slices if tubes
Frying Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups flour - for dredging
- 1 ½ cups camote (sweet potato), potato, or wheat flour - for batter
- 2 eggs - thoroughly whisked
- 6 to 7 ounces lager beer - no strong flavored beers!
- sea salt and fresh ground pepper - to season
- 1 cup oil - determined by your pan/skillet
Instructions
- Whisk together the juice and zest of the lemon and the soy sauce. Add the seafood. Marinate 15-60 minutes while you prepare to batter and fry.
- To one prep bowl, add the half the flour. In a second bowl, add the whisked eggs, and remaining flour. Add enough beer to make a thick batter.
- Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Dredge each piece in a little flour first, shaking off any excess. This helps the batter stick better. Dip into the beer batter, making sure pieces are fully coated.
- Lower the battered seafood into the hot oil, one piece at a time.
- Fry 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the batter is golden brown and crispy. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the pieces from the oil. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Notes
It is impossible to quantify macros on fried food. Obviously, all batter and flour ingredients do not get consumed. Only a small portion of the oil is consumed. The google gods want macros, so I did my best. This is not a "healthy" recipe, so if that is a concern, steer clear!
