Calamari Ingredients
Cooking Directions
1. Prepare the Calamari
Rinse the calamari rings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Make the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Gradually add water while whisking until you reach a smooth batter consistency.
3. Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4. Coat the Calamari
Dip the calamari rings into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.
5. Fry the Calamari
Carefully place the battered calamari rings into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain and Serve
Remove the fried calamari with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
