Instructions

  1. Cut the calamari into rings and combine with buttermilk in a medium bowl.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Add flour, salt, pepper, and paprika to a separate, medium bowl. Stir to combine.
  4. Remove the calamari rings from the buttermilk and place them in a sieve to remove excess liquid. Coat the rings with the flour mixture and set aside.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add the coated calamari rings. Fry for 2 minutes until crispy. Remove the fried calamari rings from the pan and pat dry on a paper-towel lined plate.  
  6. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the calamari. Garnish with lemon slices and serve.
