Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. For the aioli:
  2. Fill a Dutch oven 2/3 of the way full with vegetable oil.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the calamari, scallops, 2 teaspoons hot sauce and 2 cups buttermilk and marinate for 30 minutes. In another bowl, combine the flour, masa, Essence, salt and pepper.
  4. Heat oil to 350 degrees F
  5. Remove the calamari from the buttermilk and place into the flour mixture in batches. Shake to remove any excess flour and fry in vegetable oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  6. Fill another large bowl with the remaining 2 cups buttermilk. Dip the hot peppers into the buttermilk and then into the flour mixture and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  7. For the aioli:
  8. In a food processor, combine the garlic, salt, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Once that is combined, slowly add the olive oil. If the aioli is too thick, thin with a couple of tablespoons cold water.
