FRIED CALAMARI
This is one of the most classic Greek recipes in the world. Fried calamari is served at all the restaurants and people make it at home, too. A lot of people are surprised that I make it at home, but it really isn’t that difficult. Once you realize how quickly it comes together, you’ll start making it at home a lot, too!
Makes 4 to 6 servings
2 pounds of fresh whole calamari
1 tsp Salt
¼ tsp Pepper
¼ tsp paprika
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup Flour
3 cups Vegetable Oil
Lemon for serving
Prepare the squid by slicing it into rings, leave the tentacles whole.
In a shallow bowl mix the salt, pepper, paprika, olive oil. Add the calamari and make sure it is completely coated.
Place the flour in a shallow pan and add the calamari and toss it well.
Add the vegetable oil to a shallow pan with straight edges and bring to medium-high heat.
You’ll know the vegetable oil is ready when it sizzles when a pinch of flour hits the oil.
Add the calamari batches and fry it until it’s completely cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Remove the calamari to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Squeeze a lemon wedge over the top of the calamari while it’s still warm. Serve warm with extra lemon for people if they’d like it!

Olive oil will make the flour stick less on the calamari
