Prepare the Szechuan Dry Rub

In a bowl, combine Szechuan peppercorns, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

3

Fry the Calamari

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated calamari in batches and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
