shark fillets
🥗Healthier: grilled chicken
💰Cheaper: tilapia
Grilled chicken is lower in calories and tilapia is more affordable.
all-purpose flour
🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour
💰Cheaper: cornmeal
Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cornmeal is often less expensive.
coconut oil
🥗Healthier: olive oil
💰Cheaper: vegetable oil
Olive oil is healthier, and vegetable oil is usually cheaper.
hot sauce
🥗Healthier: salsa
💰Cheaper: ketchup
Salsa offers a fresh taste, while ketchup is often less costly.
Wash the shark fillets with lime juice to remove freshness.
Cut the shark fillets into smaller pieces.
Season the shark with paprika, black pepper, salt, and green seasoning.
Let the seasoned shark marinate for about 25 minutes.
In a bowl, add 2.5 cups of sifted all-purpose flour.
Add 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the flour.
Add 3 tablespoons of butter to the flour mixture.
Gradually pour in 1 cup of lukewarm water, mixing until the dough resembles crumbs.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and clean from the sides of the bowl.
Let the dough rest for 20 minutes, covered with a paper towel.
After 20 minutes, knead the dough again until smooth and let it rest for another 10 minutes.
In a frying pan, pour coconut oil and heat it to medium-high.
Coat the marinated shark pieces in 1.25 cups of flour, shaking off excess flour.
To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a piece of garlic into the oil; if it bubbles, the oil is ready.
Remove the garlic and carefully place the coated shark pieces into the hot oil.
Fry the shark pieces until golden brown, checking every minute or two to ensure they do not overcook.
Once golden brown, remove the shark from the oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
