Quick, easy flavorful. Everyone enjoyed this dish. Since I added additional red pepper for a spicier mix. Leftovers (if there are any) are also terrific as is or with additional seafood and mixed with a shaped pasta such as shells or cavatelli.

Just made Saturday for Christmas Eve dinner tonight. Stirred a few times since then and after tasting today added lemon zest and juice from one small lemon and fresh chopped flat leaf parsley. It just needed a little extra umph. But absolutely delicious and calamari is tender. My lemons are home grown so suspect may be why I needed an extra one.
