Steps:
- Rinse the calamari and slice into 1/4-inch rings. Place the calamari on paper toweling to drain. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cumin, chili powder, pepper, and salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet or deep fryer until it reaches 365 degrees F. Dredge the calamari rings in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Add the rings (in batches if needed) to the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes or until light brown and crispy. Do not overcook them or they will be tough. Remove the calamari from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper toweling to drain. Immediately sprinkle them with Tabasco, depending on how spicy you want them. Serve hot with cocktail or tartar sauce, with lemon wedges on the side.

Steps:
- Wash and pat squid rings dry.
- Pour flour into zip lock bag along with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder: shake to mix.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the eggs, milk, and hot sauce (I use Texas Pete).
- Pour remaining flour in another zip lock bag.
- Working with a few rings at a time, shake in unseasoned flour, dip into egg/milk mixture, shake off excess, then shake in seasoned flour.
- Fry in hot oil (350 degrees) until a light golden brown. I recommend doing just a couple of rings at first as a taste test. Add seasoning to flour if required.
- After frying, place on paper towel to drain, and re-season with Tony's (optional). Just a little salt is fine as well.
- Note: I don't recommend using Tony's as the seasoning for the flour--it comes out too salty.
