This is absolutely our favorite calamari recipe. The base of this recipe was from one of my favorite chefs Jamie Oliver, but I adjusted for my self and now it’s been years and years as our favorite in our home. The Kick sauce is a big addition to it. It’s great as a daily appetizer or if you want to impress your guests. Don’t skip frying parsley and lemons. It ads so much flavor and texture.
