Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Calamari

Rinse the cleaned calamari under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

2

Marinate

In a bowl, combine the calamari with lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

3

Coat the Calamari

In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. Dredge the marinated calamari in the flour, ensuring they are well-coated.

4

Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

5

Fry the Calamari

Carefully add the coated calamari to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6

Serve

Serve the fried calamari hot with soy mayonnaise for dipping.
