Fried Calamari Recipe

  Italian Seafood

Ingredients:
Calimari
Salt & pepper
Oil for frying
Flour

Directions:
Cut the cleaned calimari into "rings", leaving tentacles whole. I find that using medium sized squid is best. Dredge in seasoned (s&p) flour and fry in about 1 1/2 - 2 inches of oil. You may want to use a splatter guard, available in many stores!! Don't cook for too long, just enough so that the ring and tentacles get golden brown. This makes the lightest calamari I ever had, avoiding the doughy taste the some batters give to the squid. Serve with your favorite sauce as hot or mild as you wish.
I have also made a Mango dip that is suprisingly tasty with this.
