Step 1
Pat seafood dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then coat lightly in flour.
Step 2
Heat oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F. Test with a pinch of flour—it should sizzle instantly.
Step 3
Working in batches, fry seafood 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy outside. Don't crowd the pan.
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.
Step 5
Spread chopped lettuce on a platter. Pile fried seafood on top and drizzle with the lime-garlic sauce.
Step 6
Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side and fresh lemon wedges.
