• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 6 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 12 ounces frozen calamari rings, thawed and drained
• salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons cocktail sauce, or to taste
• 1 lemon, quartered

1. Stir flour, 2 teaspoons salt, paprika, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl.
2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Press calamari rings into the flour mixture until evenly coated, shaking off excess flour.
4. Working in batches, fry calamari rings in the hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer cooked calamari to a paper towel-lined plate; sprinkle with salt. Serve calamari with cocktail and lemon wedges.
