Ingredients
- ½ pound calamari, heads and tentacles included, bodies sliced into rings shopping list
- 1 tablespoons salt shopping list
- 1 tablespoon pepper shopping list
- 1 cup half and half shopping list
- 1 cup cornstarch shopping list
- canola oil for frying shopping list

How to make it
- Slowly whisk in cornstarch into the milk until it becomes smooth and pasty.
- Add half of the salt.
- In a deep medium stock pot, heat the oil (325 F) or enough to fry the calamari and make it crispy. You can dip a wooden chopstick to test the temperature of the oil. If bubbles start forming around the stick, it is ready for frying.
- Dip calamari in batter and slowly drop it in the hot oil. Cook for about 30 seconds or longer until slightly brown and crisp.
- Remove and place into a plate lined with multi layers of paper towel to remove excess oil.
- When done, toss cooked calamari with the rest of the ingredients, add more salt if desired.
