How long does calamari take to cook and what is the best method for achieving a perfectly cooked dish?

Calamari typically takes 2-3 minutes to cook. The best method for achieving a perfectly cooked dish is to either quickly saut it in a hot pan, deep fry it for a crispy texture, or grill it for a smoky flavor. It's important not to overcook calamari as it can become tough and rubbery.
