This dish was amazing! The flavors really pop and it’s so easy to make.
I made this last night and it turned out great too! Loved the lemon juice kick.
Calamari?! Who eats that?! I only like the ones from fast food, this is too fancy for me. I alway confus calamari with calzone, LOL. LOL! No thanks.
I don’t know, I thought the calamari was kinda chewy. Maybe I cooked it too long? 🤔 I prefer my seafood fried, just saying.
Yeah, calamari can get rubbery if you overcook it! Frying is a great way to make it crispy. Maybe try it that way next time!
I think you might’ve left it on too long. I always just cook it for like 1 minute. It’s softer that way!
Why do people eat squid? That’s just weird. No thanks!
It’s alright, but I expected more from it. I added some chili flakes.
Yummm! 😋 My family loved it! The bell peppers gave it such a nice color. I added some chili flakes for kick. Super tasty!
This was a total hit at our dinner party! The flavors were amazing and it looked beautiful on the table. Will definitely make again!
This recipe was easy to follow and quick to make! Perfect for a weekday meal. 👏 I might try it with shrimp next time!
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it! Shrimp sounds like a yummy twist! 🍤
Yum! 👍
Never thought about pairing calamari with bell peppers. Big fan now!
Super simple and delish! Perfect for a quick lunch.
Totally agree! This recipe is super easy and perfect for when I’m in a rush. Love it!
I tried this recipe but my calamari was rubbery. I think I overcooked it.
Overcooking can definitely make calamari chewy! Next time, try to cook it just until it’s opaque. You’ll get a better texture for sure.
