Pan fried calamari are a fantastic low carb alternative to battered or breaded squid. These are cooked with garlic and lemon for a delicious flavor! Heat the butter and oil together in a large skillet. Cut the squid tubes into rings and add them to the skillet, together with the tentacles and the garlic.
Cut calamari into 1/4 inch strips. If using fresh calamari, just cut into 1/4 inch strips. Pat dry calamari with paper towels. In a medium size mixing bowl, mix together flour and Panko bread crumbs. Add milk to a bowl and dip calamari in the milk. Toss calamari strips in flour/crumb mixture just to coat.
Check calamari for breaks and slice into 1/8- to 1/4-inch rings. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place 2 cups flour in a bowl. Whisk milk and eggs together in a separate bowl. Place remaining 4 cups flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a third bowl; mix thoroughly.
Raw calamari has no carbs with 1.2 grams of fat and 16.7 grams of protein. This Keto Salt and Pepper Squid recipe makes 4 serves. 1 serving is half a squid tube, which has 3g net carbs (we have factored in approximately 1 tablespoon of oil per serving from the fryer).
