Crispy Squid With Garlic Mayonnaise

Ingredients

• 9 ounces frozen squid (tubes and tentacles to give about 7 ounces unfrozen )
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons semolina
• 1 teaspoon crab boil seasoning (recommend Old Bay or salt and paprika )
• 1 cup oil (or as needed, depending on the size of pan)

Directions

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a smallish saucepan and while it's left to heat up cut the thawed squid into 1/2-inch rings.

2. 2

   Put the cornstarch, semolina and seasoning into a plastic freezer bag. Add the squid rings and tentacles and then toss to coat.

3. 3

   When the oil is hot enough, which is when it sizzles up fiercely when you drop in a small cube of bread, fry the squid in batches to get the most golden crunchiness.

4. 4

   A couple of minutes per batch is all you should need.

5. 5

   Mince the garlic into the mayonnaise to serve alongside the fried squid.
