Instructions
- Defrost calamari in the microwaive by using "defrost" function for 4 minutes. I used microwave safe plate.

- Meanwhile add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until transparent for about 5 minutes. Add bell peppers, paprika and chili pepper and cook, stirring, until, about 5 more minutes. Carefully add the white wine and deglaze.
- Now add your precooked calamari to the pan and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Flip the calamari and cook for 5 minutes longer.
- Serve hot.
- Cooked calamari can store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
