Easy Calamari — fresh seafood prepared Filipino-style with garlic, vinegar, and calamansi. Briny, savory, and deeply flavorful.

Prep: 10 min Cook: 10 min

Ingredients

  • 1 large b. calamari rings (soaked in milk for 3 hours)
  • 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried parsley flakes
  • Lemon wedges to taste
  • 2 cup cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, and parsley flakes. Mix well and set aside.

  2. Warm up the cooking oil in a wok or a deep cooking pot.

  3. Drain the milk of the calamari. Dredge the calamari rings one-at-a-time on the flour mixture. Make sure that the calamari ring is completely coated with the mixture.

  4. Deep fry the coated calamari rings on hot oil for 2 minutes or until the calamari turns light brown.

  5. Strain the calamari from the wok or cooking pot using a skimmer or strainer. Let the excess oil drip.

  6. Transfer the fried calamari in a serving plate.

  7. Serve with lemon wedges.
