Instructions

6 steps

1
Dry the Squid: Pat the squid rings very dry.

2
Season the Coating: Mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3
Dredge: Toss the rings in the seasoned flour to coat, shaking off the excess.
4
Heat Oil: Heat oil to 190°C (375°F).
5
Fry: Fry in small batches for 1-2 minutes until pale gold and crisp — overcooking makes squid rubbery.
6
Serve: Drain, season with salt, and serve hot with lemon wedges and marinara.
