Calamari Fritti Ingredients
Preparation Steps
1. Prepare the Calamari
Rinse the cleaned calamari rings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Make the Breading
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.
3. Coat the Calamari
Dip the calamari rings in buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge them in the flour mixture until fully coated.
4. Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the Calamari
Working in batches, carefully add the coated calamari to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6. Garnish and Serve
Transfer the fried calamari to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot with lemon wedges.
