Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 to 4 cups peanut or other neutrally flavored oil, for frying
1 pound clean calamari, tubes and legs, tubes cut into 1/2-inch rings
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Add the oil to a wide pan and heat to about 325 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Pat the calamari dry with paper towels.
  • Combine the flour and cayenne pepper. Working in batches, toss 1/3 of the calamari in the seasoned flour. Transfer the calamari to a mesh strainer and shake off the excess flour.
  • Carefully drop the calamari into the hot oil; the oil should bubble gently and the calamari should have plenty of room to swim around and fry gently. Do not crowd the pan or the oil won't come back up to temperature quickly. When done, the calamari should be very pale golden and tender. It should not look like little brown rubber bands. Remove the calamari from the hot oil and drain it on paper towels. Salt it immediately and keep it warm in the oven until all the calamari is done.
  • Repeat in 2 more batches with the remaining calamari.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.

The calamari was a little bland, but the dipping sauce helped. I'll try adding some more spices to the coating next time.

Overall, this is a good recipe. The calamari was cooked well and the coating was flavorful. However, I would recommend using a different dipping sauce.

The dipping sauce was too spicy for my taste, but the calamari itself was cooked perfectly.

The calamari was a bit chewy, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.
