How To Make parmesan calamari steaks

  • 1
    Mix together ingredients for egg dip and put calamari steaks in to soak for 15-30 minutes
  • 2
    While steaks are soaking mix together breading ingredients. Start heating oil to shimmering. I use canola or vegetable and only enough to half cover the steaks. I do not completely cover in oil. Olive oil will throw the taste off completely. I speak from experience on that one.
  • 3
    Double Bread steaks, out of dip into breading, back into egg, back into breading.
  • 4
    Fry steaks until golden on one side then flip. About 2 1/2 minutes a side. DO NOT OVERCOOK or these will be like chewing rubber bands
  • 5
    Remove from oil, blot on paper towels.
  • 6
    Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon. (bottled is ok if you don't have fresh) * Note: I served with a artichoke and will also have this recipe posted for your enjoyment
