Fried Calamari Ingredients

Preparation

Fried Calamari Directions

1. Prepare the Breading

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

2. Coat the Calamari

Dredge the calamari rings and artichoke hearts in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

3. Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4. Fry the Calamari

Carefully add the coated calamari rings and artichoke hearts to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Drain and Serve

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried calamari and artichokes from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with spicy marinara sauce, lemon aioli, and lemon wedges.
