Ingredients
- 200 g shrimp
- 200 g squid
- 4 pieces eggs
- 30 g almond flour
- 1 small scallions
Method
- Slice the squid into thin rings and leave the shrimp whole or halved lengthwise, then pat both dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together with the almond flour until a smooth, cohesive batter forms.
- Fold the shrimp, squid, and scallions cut into 5 cm lengths into the batter, ensuring the seafood and scallions are evenly coated.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and ladle the batter mixture into the pan, spreading it into a thin, even round pancake shape.
- Press the seafood gently into the surface with a spatula and cook for approximately 7 minutes until the edges are set and the underside is deep golden brown.
- Flip the pajeon carefully and cook the second side for a further 7 minutes over medium heat until fully cooked through and crispy.
- Slide the finished pajeon onto a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve immediately while hot and crisp.
