👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

In a bowl, mix flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge calamari rings in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.

⏱️ 10 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Coat the rings evenly for a crispy texture.
2

Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (180°C). Fry the calamari in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

⏱️ 15 min (ish) 🌡️ 350°F

AI Wisdom: Do not overcrowd the fryer to maintain the oil temperature.
3

Remove fried calamari with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with additional salt if desired.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Season immediately after frying for the salt to adhere better.
