Ingredients

Method
  • 400 g frozen paella seafood mix, thawed
  • Canola oil, for frying
  • Lemons, quartered, for serving
  • Crisp lettuce salad, for serving
  • For the tempura batter:

  • 1 cup ice-cold water
  • 200 g tempura flour

Pat dry the thawed paella seafood mix using kitchen paper. Heat the canola oil in a saucepan.

To make the batter, pour the water into a bowl, then quickly stir in the flour, taking care not to overmix it and leaving small lumps in the batter. Use the batter immediately.

Coat 3–4 pieces of seafood mix at a time in about 1 T batter. Fry in the oil until golden, then drain on kitchen paper.

Serve immediately with lemons for squeezing and a crisp lettuce salad.
