Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the flour.

  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (180°C). Make sure there is enough oil to completely submerge the calamari rings.

  3. Working in batches, dredge the cleaned and cut squid rings in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure they are well coated.

  4. Carefully lower the coated calamari rings into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until the calamari is golden brown and crispy.

  5. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the fried calamari from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

  6. Repeat the dredging and frying process with the remaining squid rings until all the calamari is cooked.

  7. Serve the Fried Calamari hot on a platter with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing. You can also accompany the dish with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or aioli.
