Provided by Marc Murphy

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound calamari, bodies sliced into 1/2-inch rings and tentacles cut in half
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Neutral cooking oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons, sliced thin (about 15 slices), plus lemon zest for garnish
1 cup fresh parsley leaves, plus some chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • For calamari: Soak the calamari pieces in the buttermilk in a bowl for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  • For the lemon aioli: Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Stir to combine and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Preheat a deep-fryer or several inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the flour seasoning: Add the flour, paprika, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Drain the calamari and put into the flour mixture, making sure each piece gets coated with the flour. Dump all the contents into a colander and shake off any excess flour. Line a dish with paper towels and set aside.
  • In batches, add the lemon slices and calamari to the preheated oil and fry, mixing with a slotted spoon to prevent the calamari from clumping together, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Right before you take the calamari and lemon out of the fryer, toss in the parsley leaves carefully; this will cook very fast and can splatter, so stand back. Take all the contents out of the fryer to the lined dish and season with salt.
  • Serve with the aioli, garnished with the zest and chopped parsley.
