Calamari Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Calamari

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

2. 2

   Make the Breading

   In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

3. 3

   Prepare the Wet Mixture

   In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Coat the Calamari

   Dip each calamari ring into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

6. 6

   Fry the Calamari

   Carefully add the coated calamari rings to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried calamari with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
