FAQs
1. Can I use frozen seafood for this recipe?
Yes, but make sure to thaw it completely and pat it dry with paper towels before breading and frying. This helps achieve a crispier result.
2. How do I prevent my fried seafood from becoming greasy?
Ensure your oil is hot enough before adding the seafood (around 350°F/175°C). Don't overcrowd the pan, and don't fry for too long. Properly draining on paper towels after frying also helps.
