How to Make This Low Carb Fried Calamari

First, you’ll want to source quality squid. Most grocers have frozen squid with either just the tubes or with tentacles as well. We personally love the tentacles since they get super crunchy!

Next, you’ll slice the squid into rings. Then you’ll dip them into an egg then dredge through the low-carb flour mixture.

Finally, you’ll toss the squid into a pan of hot oil and fry until golden and crispy. Yum!

DOES THIS RECIPE KEEP WELL?

Nope, this is one recipe you’ll want to eat as soon as it is made. Trust us on this one.

Don’t have a deep fryer?  This fried keto salt and pepper squid can be shallow fried in a frying pan or even a wok just make sure you place the squid cut side down into the oil.

WHAT IS THE NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION?

As always, you can find the full nutritional breakdown including the carb count (total carbs and net carbs) at the bottom of the recipe card. You can find the serving size/yield at the top of the recipe card. You should always double-check your specific ingredients as different brand’s ingredients may have different values.
