Calamari Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Breading

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

2

Prepare the Wet Mixture

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

3

Coat the Calamari

Dip each calamari ring into the wet mixture and then into the dry breading mixture to coat evenly.

4

Heat the Oil

In a deep pot 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. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

6

Serve

Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
