Calamari is a popular seafood dish in many Mediterranean and Latin American cuisines. It is typically prepared by frying the squid rings in oil, but this air fryer method offers a healthier alternative without sacrificing flavor. Tajin seasoning, a blend of chili peppers, lime, and salt, adds a unique and delicious twist to this dish.
