Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 egg

  • ¼ cup milk

  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs

  • 3 teaspoons cracked black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons sea salt

  • 1 pound calamari rings

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Whisk egg and milk together in a bowl. Mix panko, pepper, and salt in a shallow bowl.

  2. Lightly dust calamari with flour, shaking off any excess. Dip in egg mixture then panko mixture to coat. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

  3. Heat oil in a saucepan or deep fryer. Deep-fry calamari in batches until light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
