Calamari Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat the Calamari

    Dredge the calamari rings in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Calamari

    Carefully add the coated calamari rings to the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried calamari from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with feta cheese, black pepper aioli, and voodoo sauce on the side.
