1
Prepare the Calamari
Rinse the cleaned calamari under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into rings if not pre-cut.
2
Season the Flour
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3
Dredge the Calamari
Coat the calamari rings in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
4
Fry the Calamari
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the calamari in batches and fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Sauté Garlic and Peppers
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cherry peppers. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6
Combine
Add the fried calamari to the skillet with garlic and peppers, tossing to combine. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
7
Garnish and Serve
Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
