• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dried dill (optional)

thyme, dried parsley, and ground black pepper. Mix everything together until everything is well mixed.
2. Slowly pour the cold water over the dry ingredients and keep stirring. Continue beating until the
batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be thick enough to cover the seafood but still
pourable. If the batter is too thick, you can add some water.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed saucepan to about 350°F (175°C). Make

4. Dip seafood such as fish fillets or shrimp in the batter, making sure it is completely covered.Drain off

3. Repeat the soaking and frying process with the remaining seafood until cooked through.
4. Serve the crispy fried seafood with your favorite sauces such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce or lemon
wedges.
