Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

    In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the calamari rings in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Calamari

    In a deep pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated calamari in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Four Pepper Cream Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add diced bell peppers and jalapeño, cooking until softened.

  4. 4

    Finish the Sauce

    Pour in the heavy cream and lemon juice, stirring well. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the fried calamari and drizzle the four pepper cream sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
