Cajun Calamari
In this video I show you how to properly cook Calamari, so it turns out perfect, and tender! If you can't find squid in your area, it can be purchased at most Asian markets, and online as well. I used a Cajun seasoning in this video made by Frog Bone Cajun Sauces, to give it a Cajun kick, and it was delicious!
