Clean the squid: Rinse the squid under cold water and remove the head and tentacles. Pull out the inner cartilage and discard. Cut the body into 1 cm thick rings. Pat the rings dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, mix together gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 180°C (356°F).
Dip the squid rings into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Then dredge them in the flour mixture, making sure each ring is evenly coated.
Carefully place the coated squid rings into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried squid rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Slice the lemon into wedges.
Serve the crispy fried squid rings hot, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
