Ingredients

  • 500 g Calamari rings 17.6 oz
  • 200 g Shrimp optional
  • 1 cup Flour
  • Salt to taste
  • Vegetable Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • Wash the calamari rings and dry them with kitchen paper-towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
  • Put the rings in a plastic bag with the flour and shake the bag until the rings are well covered.
  • Empty the rings into a sieve and shake off the excess flour.
  • Heat a wok or deep-fryer filled with vegetable oil until it reaches about 190 (375 F). If you do not have a thermometer, throw a cube of bread in.  If it browns within 30 seconds, the oil is hot enough.
  • Cook the rings in small batches until they brown.
  • Drain them on paper-towels and sprinkle with salt.
  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
