1/2tsp salt

1/2tsp pepper

1/2tsp paprika

3/4c mayo

1/2c cilantro leaves

1/2tsp salt

1/4tsp pepper

1/2tsp cumin

1tsp lime juice and the zest

Make your calamari:

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium high heat.

While it's heating cut your squid into the 1/2" rings.

Mix flour, cornstarch and spices in a large bowl, then add

calamari rings and toss until completely coated.

Once the oil is hot enough add 1/4 of the calamari and fry

for 3-4 minutes. Place cooked calamari on a large platter

with a paper towel, continue to cook the remaining calamari.

For the tabasco & honey drizzle; just mix the 2 together

and drizzle over your hot calamari.
