Ingredients
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon harissa
Pinch salt, plus extra for seasoning over the fried scallops
16 medium-sized sea scallops
Vegetable oil for frying
Lemon wedges
Directions
Fill a cast iron skillet halfway up the side with vegetable oil, and heat to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, make the batter by whisking together the flour, the baking powder, the water, harissa, and a pinch of salt. Toss the scallops into the batter, and coat well. Allow the excess batter to drip off, and then fry the scallops in two or three batches for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towel. Season with salt while the scallops are still hot. Serve immediately! Squeeze lemon over the top.
