Fritto Misto with Calabrian Chile Aïoli

A delightful Italian dish featuring a variety of lightly fried seafood served with a spicy Calabrian chile aioli.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Prepare the aioli by combining the chopped Calabrian chiles, minced garlic, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Clean and prepare the seafood. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs.
Dredge the seafood in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat in the breadcrumbs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Fry the breaded seafood in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain the fried seafood on a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
Serve the fritto misto hot with the Calabrian chile aioli on the side for dipping.
