Recipe Name Spicy Calamari with Bacon and Scallions Submitted by dbcarlson Recipe Description I love this recipe from Epicurious. Most of the time I substitute Trader Joe's Seafood Blend for the Calamari because it's easier to locate. Quantity 0 Quantity Unit Prep Time (minutes) 10 Cook Time (minutes) 10 Ready In (minutes) 20
