Calamari Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

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

  2. 2

    Coat the Calamari

    Dip each calamari ring into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    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 and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried calamari with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side.
