Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat seafood dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then coat lightly in flour.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F. Test with a pinch of flour—it should sizzle instantly.

  3. Step 3

    Working in batches, fry seafood 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy outside. Don't crowd the pan.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer fried seafood to a paper-towel-lined plate. Whisk lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and 2 tbsp of the frying oil in a small bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Spread chopped lettuce on a platter. Pile fried seafood on top and drizzle with the lime-garlic sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side and fresh lemon wedges.
