‘Calamari (Squid) Rings’ are not difficult to make at home, but most people would not bother making them from scratch. How about this Calamari Rings without breads crumbs? Salt & Pepper the Calamari Rings, dust with Flour, dip in the whisked Egg, and fry. It is almost same as Tempura. Much easier than you think.
