Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

    Clean and cut the calamari into rings. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Calamari

    In a bowl, combine calamari, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Peppers

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sweet bell peppers and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in red pepper flakes, and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Cook the Calamari

    In the same skillet, add the marinated calamari and cook for 2-3 minutes until it turns opaque. Do not overcook.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Lemon Pepper Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  6. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, layer the arugula, then top with the cooked calamari and peppers. Drizzle with lemon pepper aioli before serving.
