Next Level Salt and Pepper Calamari (Squid)

Looking for super crispy calamari (squid) rings? What about taking it to another level with garlic and parsley. Then this recipe is for you. Salt and pepper calamari is a popular bar snack at great for sharing with friends over a cold drink. It's also a great starter with a salad, in fact it can also be a main meal.
The Addition of Szechuan peppercorns in the crispy salt and pepper coating, gives them a unique flavour and a tingling sensation. They are optional, if you're not a fan or if don't have them in stock, just use extra black peppercorns instead. It will still be great!
These rings are super crispy by using egg wash and two types of flour.
The calamari is soft inside with a beautiful flavour. Wait until you taste one and then see if you don't eat them all!

You have one of the best culinary content on KZbin. Your cooking style is straight to the point and easy to follow. Keep up the good work.

[@recipe30]

Thanks so much, will do!

[@jpbanksnj]

Yes! 1/2 corn starch makes a great calamari!

[@13soap13]

Every once-in-a-while I will see these fresh in seafood case, but not sure how to prepare. No excuses now . . . You are such an organized and tidy cook . . . Thanks for posting.

[@recipe30]

Thank you so much, hope it's inspired you to try them.

[@ristorantanen5769]

Tnx Joel!

[@andy_14]

I think Whiskey could learn even more words! It's up to him!

[@chuckz2934]

Great finishing touch with the garlic oil!!

[@recipe30]

Cheers Chuck, it truly brings it up another level, I can't get enough of them!

[@LaCocinadelaAbuelaNina]

I'm impressed by the quality of this tutorial! The detailed process for making Crispy Calamari with Garlic, Salt and Pepper is easy to follow, and the additional tips are very useful. Congratulations on the clarity and the irresistible flavors!

[@mikeflorence8655]

Hi Joel, it's Mike Florence and I trust you are well and Whiskey on the mend. I've spent years cooking just seafood and I can honestly say this is THE BEST presentation of S & P Squid I've seen. This will work really well with King Prawns as well. Thanks for yet another winner. Cheers for now Joel, Mike.

[@rickybobby9886]

Thanks for the prawn tip. I have no access to squid in my area. However prawns are easy.

[@mikeflorence8655]

Hi Bobby, it's Mike Florence and thanks for your comment Man. I'm a seafood chef in the County of Kent, England. I make Joel's channel one of the best on KZbin and learn so much from him. Yep, King Prawns will work well here. If you can't get fresh Squid I'm sure you can get frozen online. I also like Baby Squid, they're very sweet and tasty. Cheers, Mike. @@rickybobby9886

[@rickybobby9886]

@@mikeflorence8655 Thank you good to know. I got some frozen locally in TN. They were gross. Too fishy. I grew up in New England and I am very familiar with seafood as well

[@mikeflorence8655]

Hi, Ricky, it's Mike Florence and thanks for your reply. If you're in New England and like seafood, well, the Port of Maine can only be a drive away. The best venue I remember from a visit is The Clam Shack right on the coast. Their Lobster Rolls and Deep Fried Clams are legendary!!! See Ya, Mike. @@rickybobby9886

I love calamari! Chef Joel, this is more than next level. Using two types of pepper and flour will definitely make this recipe delicious and crispy! Thank you for sharing this recipe along with the tips! I'm happy Whiskey received a piece of meat, but wanting more. So funny when you say, "That's It" and it takes a few moments for Whiskey to move on. 🥰🤗😂👍🏻

[@recipe30]

My pleasure glad you like them! Yeah Whiskey doesn't trust me as he can see there's more. 🤣

[@cathleengrady1351]

OK, going to give this a try. Don’t know why I was intimidated by calamari.❤

[@johnnysyak4696]

Joel, love ur recipes greatly. I am a chef and your recipes are "on" every time. Have to say, love your dog so very much. Collies have such a sympethetic look in their eyes and even as they remain still, have a swagger of calmness, obedience and pure love but also with a "seeping" excitement that knows their obedience shall be rewarded, same befitting of Saints. Too bad that more humans cannot see Truth to be as such with The One who gives them all, instead of giving all honor, glory and credit to themselves. Learn from the animals and morseo from children who are given to teach us all that we have forgotten.

[@recipe30]

I learn so much simply by observing nature and its animals. Cheers Johnny!

How do you clean your block? Especially post chicken and seafood?

[@recipe30]

I boil the kettle and pour boiling water on it (in the sink), then a quick wipe with vinegar. I also coat it in olive oil regularly. Plastic or nylon cutting boards should be banned in my books.

[@user-fw6gf2xh7x]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤❤👏👏👏

[@everydayden5826]

Been following you for quite some time and I love the dishes you do. At three minutes are your rings chewy ? Seems like when I fry mine after cutting them that thin they are like rubber bands. I know that people are overly cautious today about under cooked foods and maybe that is why you suggest three minutes. Thoughts ? -- Thanks, Dennis

[@recipe30]

A lot depends on your fishmonger, but a quick tip, marinate them in some fresh kiwi juice, they will tenderize.

[@everydayden5826]

@@recipe30 Thank you for the reply. I have used buttermilk before but I will give the kiwi juice a try. It might be a bit more acidic. Keep up the great work !! It is always a pleasure to see your videos and the dishes you are preparing. --dennis
