Easy Fried Calamari Recipe for home!!

Prepare the calamari by washing it and patting it dry.

Get a few cups of flour in a bowl, depending on how much calamari you want to make.

Season the flour with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.

Toss the calamari in the seasoned flour, ensuring it is well-coated, especially inside the tubes.

Shake off the excess flour from the calamari.

Heat the fryer oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Carefully drop the calamari into the oil, avoiding dropping it from a height to prevent splashing.

Remove the calamari from the oil and drain on a plate.
