- 1
Prepare the Breading
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the seasoned batter.
- 2
Coat the Calamari
Dredge calamari rings in the seasoned batter, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of batter into it; if it sizzles, it's ready.

Fry the Calamari
Carefully add the coated calamari rings into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.
