This is the ideal fish tapas hors d'oeuvre for any event, yet you can serve these calamari as a fundamental course, by some cooked potatoes and a straightforward plate of mixed greens. The key to this formula is to utilize some great quality smoked paprika. I utilized Kiva's sweet smoked Spanish paprika, genuinely a diamond of a paprika and worth each penny.
The cleaned containers of squid I utilized right now effectively findable and extremely basic here in Spain. In the event that your store doesn't convey them, check with a nearby Asian market, they generally sell them, you will discover them in the cooler segment.
You can likewise check with your neighborhood fishmonger, they ordinarily convey them also. Watch the video underneath on How to Make these Fried Calamari with Spanish Paprika and Lemon or look at the formula card beneath, which you can print. Salud!
