Fried Calamari

Ingredients

• 800 g calamari, or ready-cut calamari rings
• 2 eggs
• Salt and pepper
• Cajun seasoning
• Breadcrumbs
• Olive oil for deep-frying (enough to submerge the rings)

Method

1. 1

   Heat the oil thoroughly in a deep pan. Defrost the calamari if needed and slice into rings. Beat the eggs with a generous amount of Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Working in small batches, dip the calamari rings into the seasoned egg mixture, then coat them in breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Fry each batch for about 5 minutes, until crisp and golden. Transfer the rings to kitchen paper to drain off any excess oil. Serve at once with a lemon wedge.
