Italian Style Fried Calamari<\/h2>\n

Italian Calamari is one of my favorite appetizers. \u00a0But honestly, I don’t always like the way restaurants prepare it. \u00a0It’s kind of a hit and miss recipe for me. \u00a0You either know what you’re doing or you don’t and it’s so easy to make it just blows my mind when chefs screw it up. \u00a0So I have decided its important to add a few of my favorite Recipes over the last year that are definitely some of the best around. \u00a0My Salt and Pepper Calamari is so tender you won’t believe your mouth. Plus I talk about the secrets to that recipe in the link below. \u00a0If you’re interested in Saut\u00e9ed Squid with Caramelized Onions and Seared Potatoes<\/a>, then you should definitely check out this other recipe that derives it’s influence from Spain. \u00a0Both recipes, in my opinion, are absolutely incredible and that’s why, like many of my other recipes here on Poor Man’s, I’ve decided to take the time to film Video Recipe Tutorials for each of them on my YouTube Channel<\/a> to be included with the ingredients. \u00a0In fact you may or may not have seen the last video I filmed, before this recipe, but it was indeed a Cleaning and Preparing Tutorial on Whole Squid for Calamari Recipes. \u00a0If that’s something you’re interested in watching, I’ll include a link for that below as well. \u00a0With that being said, I expect you’ll very much enjoy this recipe, if not one of the others, if perfection is what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n
