✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1 lb White fish
• 1 lb Shrimp
• 1 lb Calamari rings
• 1 cup Flour
• 1/2 cup Cornstarch
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tbsp Cajun-style seasoning
• 1.5 lb Yuca
• 1 Red onion
• 4 Limes
• 1/4 cup Cilantro
• 5 cups Neutral oil

Steps

1. Cut the fish into strips. Toss all the seafood in seasoned flour mixed with cornstarch, then beaten egg, then flour again for an extra-crisp shell.
2. Fry the yuca sticks first at 350°F until golden, 6 minutes; drain and salt. Keep hot.
3. Fry the seafood in batches 3 to 4 minutes until deep golden. Do not crowd the pot — the temperature must stay high.
4. Toss the hot fried seafood with thin-sliced red onion, lime juice, and cilantro for the classic salsa criolla contrast.
5. Mound over the fried yuca with lime wedges and ají mayo. Serve the second it hits the table.
