Crispy Calamari




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 lb cleaned calamari (squid)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 cup vegetable oil
Marinara sauce warmed (optional)


Recipe



Cut the tube-like calamari bodies into 1/2-inch rings, leaving the tentacles intact.

In a large resealable plastic storage bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the calamari in small batches and toss until completely coated.

In a large deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Fry the calamari in small batches for 4 to 6 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately as is or with your favorite marinara sauce for dipping.

Comments: The easiest way to do this is to buy calamari that's already cleaned so that you're ready to go when you get it home!
