List of Ingredients




1 1/2 pounds of fresh squid - cleaned and cut in 1/2" circles
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salad oil for frying the calamari
a 1-gallon size plastic zip-lock type bag
marinara sauce for dipping or fresh lemon pieces


Recipe



01.Rinse the squid. Pull out the tentacles from the body and reserve. Place your finger inside the body and remove and discard the plastic-like cartilage. Pull the skin off the squid and discard.

02.Rinse pieces and cut in 1/2" rings. Trim the tentacles just below the eyes.

03.In the plastic bag, place the flour, garlic powder, salt, white pepper and cayenne pepper. Close the bag and shake to combine ingredients.

04.In a wok or pan, heat oil (approximately 1" deep) over medium high heat. Check the temperature with a little of the flour mixture. When hot, it will cook rapidly.

05.In small batches, place the prepped squid in the plastic bag. Shake to coat the rings and tentacles.

06.Reach in the bag and retrieve the coated squid. Shake off excess coating and CAREFULLY place in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Place on a pan with clean paper towels and hold in a warm oven. Repeat this procedure for all the squid.
