How to Make Marinated Calamari
- Slice 1 pound of squid into 1/2-inch rings and place in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Pour in 2 cups of milk, ensuring the squid is fully submerged. Add more milk if needed.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 24 hours (longer is better!).
- Drain the calamari, reserving the milk (can be used for other recipes!), and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
- Place the dried calamari in a large resealable plastic bag.
- Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour to the bag. Seal and shake until the calamari is evenly coated.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the calamari to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the calamari with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and your favorite side salad. Enjoy!
