   In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.

   In a bowl, season the flour with salt and black pepper. Dredge the calamari rings in the flour, shaking off excess.

   Sauté the Peppers

   In the same skillet, add sliced red and green bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
