    • Step-by-Step Method for Calamari Fritti
    • Pat calamari rings dry with paper towels to remove moisture

    • In a small bowl, whisk egg and milk together thoroughly
    • In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper
    • Heat oil for frying in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F)
    • Dip each calamari ring into the egg-milk mixture to coat evenly
    • Transfer coated rings to the seasoned flour mixture, toss to coat thoroughly
    • Shake off excess flour from rings, arrange in a single layer
    • Carefully lower calamari rings into hot oil in small batches to prevent crowding
    • Fry each batch for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp, turning if needed
    • Use a slotted spoon to remove fried rings from oil and drain on paper towels
    • Repeat frying process with remaining calamari rings
    • Lightly season the hot fried calamari with extra salt if desired
