About Salt and peper calamari

Salt and Pepper Calamari is a popular dish originating from Chinese cuisine, celebrated for its crispy texture and bold flavor. This appetizer or main dish typically features fresh squid, sliced into rings or strips, coated in a light batter seasoned with salt, ground pepper, and sometimes additional spices like chili flakes or garlic. The squid is deep-fried to golden perfection, often paired with a tangy dipping sauce that enhances its savory zest. While squid is a nutrient-rich protein source, packed with vitamins and minerals such as B12, selenium, and phosphorus, the deep-frying process can add significant calories and unhealthy fats, making moderation important. The inclusion of spices like black pepper may provide mild anti-inflammatory benefits. To boost its health profile, some variations use less oil or an air fryer. Salt and Pepper Calamari is a delicious, indulgent treat best enjoyed as part of a balanced meal.
