J. Baldwin's Calamari With Beurre Blanc Sauce: image

I am a calamari lover !!! I begged Jeff for years to make this in his culinary classes but it took him 2 years to finally give it up. This is the best calamari you will ever eat and I am SO glad I can finally make it at home and impress friends and family. Thanks Jeff !!! When I cannot find calamari steaks, I buy a 10 oz box of Trader Joe's lightly breaded calamari rings and it is still awesome .. Enjoy !!!

The calamari was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try again with a shorter cooking time next time.

The calamari was a bit bland, even with the sauce. I think I'll add some extra seasoning next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my calamari turned out rubbery. Not sure what went wrong.

This calamari dish was a hit at my dinner party! The beurre blanc sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the calamari was cooked perfectly - tender and not chewy. I will definitely be making this again.
