Recipe of Fried Calamari

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh calamari, sliced into rings
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• vegetable oil for frying
• lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

• Ensure the calamari is thoroughly cleaned and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the calamari into rings, keeping the tentacles intact for added texture.

• In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.

• Dip each piece of calamari into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.

• Coat the calamari in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Place the coated calamari on a plate, ready for frying.

• Place your SENSARTE Ceramic Nonstick Deep Frying Pan on the stove over medium-high heat.

• Add enough vegetable oil to submerge the calamari rings. Allow the oil to heat to 350°F.

• Carefully place the coated calamari into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.

• Fry the calamari for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried calamari and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

• Arrange the fried calamari on a serving platter, garnishing with additional salt if desired. Serve hot with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy!
