Deep Fried Calamari Simple

This is so easy! Just like the restaurants in spain! the coating is crispy though not overbearing, and the calamari will be tender. The trick here is that the calamari needs to be cooked either super quick, or for a long time on a simmer for it to be tender. If you like fried calamari, you are going to love this recipe!
