Polenta Crusted Lemon Pepper Calamari

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb. fresh calamari, including tentacles
  • 1 Tblsp. lemon pepper seasoning
  • 3 Tblsp. corn starch
  • 1 cup of coarse polenta, or corn grits
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

 

Chipotle dipping sauce (optional):

  • ½ cups mayonnaise
  • ½ cups sour cream
  • 1 Tblsp. water
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 Tblsp. chipotle sauce
  • ½ tsp. salt

DIRECTIONS:

Make chipotle dipping sauce by whisking all of the ingredients together. Set aside.

Clean calamari and cut into rings. Blot rings and tentacles with a paper towel until dried. Season with lemon pepper.

In a medium bowl mix corn starch and polenta. Add calamari and coat well.

Fill your IMUSA Dutch oven with about an inch of vegetable oil and heat on high heat. Use a thermometer to reach 375F then fry calamari in small batches until golden brown, using a slotted spoon or spider spoon to break the pieces apart, about 2 minutes. Place on plate lined with paper towels and continue until all of the calamari has been fried.

Serve with hot peppers or chopped cilantro and chipotle dipping sauce.

Enjoy!
