INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oil in deep pan with basket until just smoking. In a wide shallow
bowl, mix half the calamari, half of the lemon slices and half the
scallops. Sprinkle with 1 cup corn starch and toss quickly with hands
to coat. Toss into larger strainer with a handle and bat against hand
to remove excess cornstarch. Drop coated sea food and lemons into oil
and cook until golden brown and crispy (about 1 minute). Remove to a
plate lined with paper towels to drain. Immediately repeat with
remaining lemons, calamari, scallops and cornstarch. Season hot fried
foods with salt and pepper and serve immediately with fresh lemon
wedges. This recipe yields 4 servings as antipasto. Recipe Source:
