Stuffed squid/calamari with prawns

I first had this stuffed calamari at our friend's place in Goa for holiday at one of my friends place.My kids enjoyed this so much so that they were only 3-4 pieces left on the plate.It was really very tasty.So this time when i got this fresh calamaris only one dish came to my mind that is Stuffed calamari.This makes very good party appetizer .Make-ahead appetizers help you relax and enjoy your own party.
