Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crumb Mixture: In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place this mixture into a plastic bag for easy coating of the calamari.
-
Prepare the Egg Wash: In a shallow dish, beat the egg and combine it with milk.
-
Heat the Oil: Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 160°C (320°F).
-
Coat the Calamari: Dip each calamari ring into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, transfer it to the plastic bag containing the crumb mixture. Shake the bag to coat the calamari evenly with breadcrumbs.
-
Deep Fry: Carefully place the coated calamari rings into the hot oil. Fry them until they achieve a golden-brown color, typically for about 4-5 minutes. However, cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the calamari and the heat of the oil. If using store-bought crumbed calamari, adjust cooking time accordingly.
-
Serve: Once cooked to perfection, remove the calamari from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot and crispy crumbed calamari with tartar sauce for dipping.
Enjoy the Crumbed Calamari Experience! 🍴✨
