Sriracha, a spicy Thai chili sauce, is typically made from sun-ripened chile peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. Substitute your favorite hot sauce. Ingredients:
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1 1/2 teaspoons sriracha or thai garlic-chili sauce |
1 pound fresh calamari (tubes and tentacles), rinsed and sliced into rings |
1 cup buttermilk |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
1 teaspoon ground paprika |
vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Stir together mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl. Cover and chill.
2. Soak calamari in buttermilk; chill at least 1 hour. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in a medium bowl. Remove calamari from buttermilk, and dredge in flour mixture. Shake off excess, and separate rings and tentacles.
3. Pour oil to depth of 2 inches into a Dutch oven; heat to 365°. Fry calamari, in batches, 1 minute or until done. Drain on paper towels, and serve warm with spicy mayonnaise.
