- 6Get your hands in there and massage it all in.
- 7Follow it up with some salt and hot sauce for a little kick.
- 8Once that’s all nice and infused, cover this and let it marinate in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- 9For the dry dredge, you'll need flour, corn starch, Cajun seasoning, Nature's seasoning, and cayenne, which is optional.

- 14Deep fry the calamari in oil at about 320 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 15Fry until they get nice and golden brown.

- 17Sprinkle with a little salt for extra flavor.
- 18Serve with marinara sauce.
