A calamari steak, lightly coated with blackened seasoning then finished with lemon butter
Rinse the calamari steak under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Generously coat both sides of the calamari steak with blackened seasoning, ensuring an even layer.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat until it begins to foam.
Add the seasoned calamari steak to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a dark crust forms and the steak is cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked calamari. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Slice the blackened calamari steak and serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
