Ingredients

Method

Cut tentacles off squid; cut tubes crosswise into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick rings. Pat dry. In large plastic bag, shake together flour, cornstarch and cayenne pepper.

In deep-fryer or deep heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil to 425°F (220 C).

All at once, add squid tentacles and rings to flour mixture; shake to coat.

Fry, in batches, until golden, 30 to 45 seconds. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain; sprinkle with salt. Serve with lemon wedges and Lemon A?i.
