Preparation

Seafood

In a bowl, mix the lime juice and two teaspoons of lime zest with soy sauce, TABASCO® Sauce, ginger, garlic and salt.

Cut the calamari bodies into 1-inch thick rings.

Marinate the fish, calamari and shrimp together in the soy sauce, TABASCO® Sauce, ginger, and garlic mixture and place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Place potatoes in a large pot with skins on. Add enough water to cover potatoes and bring to a boil. Boil for 35 minutes. Once tender, slice them in 1/2-inch thick slices and let cool.

Fill a pot with frying oil and heat to 360°F.

Place eggs in a medium bowl and flour in a separate medium bowl. Remove seafood from marinade, dip seafood into bowl with egg mixture and then transfer to bowl with flour and coat evenly. Place in hot oil. Fry the fish for 1.5 minutes, followed by the shrimp for 1.5 minutes and then the calamari for 2 minutes. Once the seafood is crispy, remove from the oil and place on a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.

Drizzle canola oil onto a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the potato slices until edges are crisp and place them on a paper towel. Season with salt.

Spicy Mayo Mix

In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, lime juice and lime zest. Add the TABASCO® Sauce, chopped cilantro, and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.

Salsa

Rinse the sliced onion in cold water. In a bowl, mix the sliced vegetables with lime juice, TABASCO® Sauce and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste

Serve

To serve, place 2 fried potato slices on a flat plate and arrange the fish, calamari rings, and whole shrimp together with the calamari tentacles on top. Top with Spicy Mayo Mix and Salsa. Sprinkle scallions and serve immediately.
