Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well.

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Coat the Calamari

    Dip the calamari rings first into the wet mixture, then into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 180°C or 350°F).

  5. 5

    Fry the Calamari

    Fry the coated calamari in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried calamari with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and garnish with parsley.
