Ingredientes

3/4 c. All-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. Cayenne pepper or possibly more to taste Oil for deep frying Salt to taste Lime wedges for garnish

Heat 4 inches of neutral-flavored oil in large heavy pot to 360 degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine squid pcs and egg white, mixing gently but thoroughly. Sift together flour and cayenne. Drain squid.
Working in batches, drop a handful of squid into seasoned flour and toss to coat proportionately. Lift out of flour, shake to remove excess, and drop carefully into warm oil. Cook briefly till golden brown, about 1 to 2 min. Remove squid from oil with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining squid till all are cooked. Sprinkle with salt and serve with lime wedges.
This recipe yields 4 appetizer servings.
Comments: To clean squid, pull gently on the tentacles to separate them from the hood; most of the intestines will pull out as well. Cut off the tentacles below the eyes and reserve. Pull out long plastic like "quill" and throw away it and the intestines. Rinse out the hoods and, if you like, pull off the purple skin with your fingers or possibly a paper towel. Slice body into 1/4-inch rings. Set rings aside with the tentacles till needed.
