Enjoying delicious calamari at home is easier than most people think. The key to a good, flavorful calamari is to buy the freshest squid possible and then not to overcook it.

Once you’ve made your first batch of calamari you’ll never need to look at a recipe for it again because it’s far easier to make than it looks.

Below is a delicious recipe for Spicy Buttermilk Fried Calamari from the folks at The Hungry Mouse.

Ingredients:

1 lb. fresh squid, cleaned
2 cups buttermilk
4 cups flour
2 Tbls. garlic powder
1 tsp. cayenne
1 tsp. kosher salt + more for garnish
canola oil for frying
