This vibrant spicy calamari dish offers a sophisticated blend of textures and bold flavours, making it an excellent choice for a quick midweek meal or a light weekend lunch. The tender squid rings are quickly sautéed at a high heat to ensure they remain succulent, while the addition of dried chilli flakes provides a gentle, warming heat that perfectly complements the fresh, sharp bite of the spring onions.
As a naturally dairy-free recipe, this dish relies on the savoury depth of crisp bacon to provide a rich contrast to the delicate seafood. It is best served immediately while the calamari is at its most tender. For a complete meal, pair it with a crisp green salad or a small portion of steamed jasmine rice to soak up the flavourful juices from the pan.

Ingredients for Spicy Calamari with Bacon and Spring onions
675g scleaned medium squid
110g bacon (about 5 slices), cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
160g chopped spring onions
1/2 teaspoons dried hot red-pepper flakes
How to make Spicy Calamari with Bacon and Spring onions
Rinse squid under cold water, then pat dry between paper towels. Halve large tentacles lengthwise and cut bodies (including flaps, if attached) crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide rings.
Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, then transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
Toss squid with 1/4 teaspoons salt.
Heat fat remaining in skillet over high heat until very hot, then sauté squid with spring onions and red-pepper flakes until just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Serve squid immediately, sprinkled with bacon.
