Salt and Pepper Calamari Recipe – Calamari with Garlic Mayonnaise

One of the simplest recipe you could make. It needs just 3 to 4 ingredients to make this but it taste just yum. There is no big spices going in this, it is just squid, salt and pepper and sprinkle it with some cornflour and fry. Thats it.

I am not a big fan of seafood, but still i loved this one so much.It is crispy and tender. Specially when it is served with the garlic mayo it taste amazing.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
