Ingredients

Squid

  • 2 C (about 500 g) calamari tubes and tentacles
  • 1 C (250 ml) cake flour
  • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) cornflour
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) paprika
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) freshly milled pepper
  • cooking oil, for deep-frying

  • juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 Tbsp (45 ml) chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
