Ingredients
- 1 pound squid, cleaned and sliced
- 2 egg whites
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (or more to taste) cayenne pepper
- Oil for deep-frying: 4 inches of neutral-flavored oil in large heavy pot
- Lime wedges for garnish
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine squid pieces and egg white, mixing gently but thoroughly. Sift together flour and cayenne. Drain squid.
Heat oil to 360 degrees.
Working in batches, drop a handful of squid into seasoned flour and toss to coat evenly. Lift out of flour, shake to remove excess, and drop carefully into hot oil. Cook briefly until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove squid from oil with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining squid until all are cooked. Sprinkle with salt and serve with lime wedges
