Fried Calamari Ingredients
Fried Calamari Directions
1. Prepare the Calamari
Rinse the calamari rings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
3. Coat the Calamari
Dredge the calamari rings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
4. Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the Calamari
Carefully add the coated calamari rings to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain the Calamari
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked calamari from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve
Serve the fried calamari hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
