Buffalo Calamari image

A delicious take on everyone's two favorite appetizers - Buffalo wings and fried calamari! Fresh, homemade calamari drizzled with blue cheese and hot sauce, topped with a cooling tomato relish. Hard to give a serving size, as my daughter Evan and I finish a whole recipe between us, or I'll make a plate for myself (only) as an entree! The beauty is, you can adjust just about all of the ingredients to taste!

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 pound baby calamari - rinsed, dried, and sliced into rings
vegetable oil for frying
½ cup diced tomatoes
¼ cup diced red onion
¼ cup diced celery
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese, or to taste
¼ cup blue cheese salad dressing, or to taste
¼ cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®), or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a resealable plastic bag and shake to combine. Add calamari and make sure all pieces are coated.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat to 395 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • While oil heats, combine tomatoes, onion, and celery in a bowl. Set tomato relish aside.
