Fried Calamari Recipe
Ingredients
* 1 pound calamari, cleaned bodies and tentacles
* oil as needed (canola or peanut oil)
* 1 cup flour, all-purpose
* salt & pepper to taste
Directions
1. Cut each of the squid bodies into 4 rings using scissors.
2. Place 1 inch of oil in a large cook pot and heat over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F., as measured with a thermometer (see note below).
3. Combine flour, salt and pepper on a large flat plate and dredge calamari in flour to coat on all sides.
4. Lower calamari rings and tentacles into hot oil and cook until lightly browned (about 2-3 minutes).
5. Remove to paper towels to drain oil.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Note: If you do not have a cooking thermometer, use a wooden stir spoon or other wooden utensil by placing the wooden handle into the hot oil. If the oil is hot enough, bubbles should rise along the handle immediately. If not, wait for the oil to get hotter.
