For the Calamari

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

    In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Coat the Calamari

    In another bowl, beat the eggs. Dip the calamari rings into the egg, then dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

  3. 3

    Breadcrumb Coating

    After coating with the flour mixture, dip the calamari rings into the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Calamari

    In a deep pan or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the calamari in batches, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried calamari and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
