Calamari Preparation

Method

Calamari Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Calamari

    Begin by cleaning the fresh calamari. Remove the head, tentacles, and innards. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and slice the body into rings.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Coat the Calamari

    Dip each calamari ring first into the egg mixture and then into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  5. 5

    Fry the Calamari

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

Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and honey. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
