Fried Calamari

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well. In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.

  3. 3

    Coat the Calamari

    Dip each calamari ring into the egg and milk mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Calamari

    Fry the coated calamari rings in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried calamari hot with lemon wedges and marinara sauce for dipping.
