Welcome my friends to another week of Travels in the South. Today we wanted to share with you one of mom/dad’s favorite appetizers. A couple of weeks ago, mom/dad was craving this delicious dish and went to the restaurant ordering and splitting just this plate. What is it you ask?
Let me present to you Carrabbas Italian Grill Calamari. It’s hand breaded to order and normally served with a marinara sauce. But mom/dad, they like to get the lemon butter sauce on the side with the sliced peppers for just a little heat.
For those that don’t know what calamari is – it’s squid. Now before you go eeww, don’t know it until you try it. Honestly. Even I have tried it and I like it. Like in this dish, it’s fried crispy and is wonderful. Sometimes it can be a little salty but for the most part it’s an awesome dish.
So the next time you are at Carrabbas Italian Grill, give it a try. I bet you will fall in love with it as well.

we love clamaris… your can get them here with mayo, that’s very rich… I like your idea with the lemon butter sauce, that’s rich too but it probably is not like a rock in your tummy for hours, like the fatty mayo stuff…

This lemon butter sauce is good because they also put peppers in it so it has a little bite that is totally awesome for sure. Even I like the calamari with the little tails hanging out of my mouth. Yummo! XOXO – Bacon

Yummy. Personally I enjoy an ‘inker’ or two every once in a while. 🙂
