Clean the baby squid by removing the head and innards, then rinse under cold water.

Pat the squid dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

In a bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Dredge the cleaned squid in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully add the coated squid to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry the squid until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the squid from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fried squid before serving.

Garnish with chopped parsley and minced garlic for added flavor.
