Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Calamari steaks
- 0.5 cups Flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
Pat the calamari steaks dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Dredge each calamari steak in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the calamari steaks to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, then remove the skillet from heat.
Pour the lemon-garlic butter sauce over the calamari steaks.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
