Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Squid

    Rinse the cleaned squid under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make sure they are cut into rings or desired shapes.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Coat the Squid

    Dredge the squid rings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Shake off excess flour.

  3. 5

    Fry the Squid

    Carefully add the squid to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy.

  4. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried squid with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
