Rinse the calamari rings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dredge a calamari ring in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the calamari ring in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Repeat the dredging and coating process with the remaining calamari rings.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the calamari rings in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried calamari to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the low carb crispy calamari rings immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
