It really doesn’t matter where it originally comes from as long as it is delicious 🙂 The squid looks really tender and tasty, Raymund.
This is fabulous. I love squid, cuttlefish, octopus…. but I have to order it frozen, unfortunately.
Squid can be wonderful. This looks like a terrific way to prepare them — so tasty. Thanks!
Looks wonderful Raymond and a dish I’d love to make. Like Mimi, we’ll have to use frozen but it should work fine.
In step 1 of your instructions, is it the garlic you’re sautéing?

Thanks for the proofread, really appreciate it. Updated the recipe now 🙂
We are huge fans of calamari and this is just the kind of recipe we are seeking these days – simple and flavorful. I just learned, thanks to you, that calamansi is the same as calamondin – a fruit that grows rampant here in Tucson. People use them to make marmalade because they are so bitter. I love the combination of spice and sour.
