A plate of fried shrimp and calamari can transfer anyone straight to the mediterranean in a matter of 40 minutes.


Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1lb / 450 grams sliced, washed calamari.
  • 1tsp salt.
  • 1 tsp cumin

  • veg oil for deep fry.

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix all your marinating ingredients (garlic powder,paprika,cumin,salt,lemon,curry).
  2. Place the shrimps and calamari in the marinade, and refridgerate for 2 hours.
  3. Take out the sliced calamari and dip in the flour. Make sure each slice is covered with flour, but shake off any excess flour. Place on a paper towel until frying.
  4. Do the same thing with the shrimp, but after flouring, dip each shrimp in the beaten eggs and finally in the bread crumbs.

  6. Heat up the frying oil. It is ready when a piece of bread turns golden in about 45 seconds.
