Ingredients

Calamari

Cocktail Sauce

Preparation

Preparing the Calamari

1. Slice the Calamari Steaks

If not already done, slice the calamari steaks into strips about 1 inch wide.

2. Prepare the Breading Station

Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; the second with beaten eggs; and the third with bread crumbs.

3. Coat the Calamari

Dredge each calamari strip in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Cooking the Calamari

4. Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

5. Grill the Calamari

Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Place the breaded calamari strips on the grill, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

6. Remove and Rest

Once cooked, remove the calamari from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Preparing House Dressing

7. Mix the Ingredients

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.

Preparing Cocktail Sauce

8. Combine the Sauce Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix together ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and optional hot sauce until well blended.
