Instructions
1
Prep
Pat mixed seafood dry with paper towels and set aside at room temperature for 10 minutes so the batter adheres.
2
Whisk
In a medium bowl, whisk rice flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper, then whisk in chilled sparkling water until combined into a thin, lump-free batter.
3
Build
Stir grated garlic, mayonnaise and lemon juice together in a small bowl until smooth to make the aioli.
4
Fry
Heat sunflower oil in a small deep saucepan over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C), dip seafood pieces in batter and lower into oil in two batches so pieces sear rather than steam. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until coating is golden and crisp and seafood is opaque and firm.
5
Plate
Pile fried seafood onto a plate, scatter with parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedge and garlic aioli alongside.
