Fried Calamari with Tabasco & Honey Drizzle & Cilantro Aioli

I tried calamari 3 years ago and fell in love,

I couldn't pass this recipe up! The recipe doesn't

show how many it will feed.

For the calamari:

1lb clean calamari, with tentacles cut into 1/2" rings

1/2c flour

1/4c cornstarch

1/2tsp salt

1/2tsp pepper

1/2tsp paprika

1-2c veggie oil for frying

For the tabasco & honey drizzle:

1 1/2T honey

2 dashes tabasco sauce

For the cilantro aioli:

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.

For the cilantro aioli, in a blender combine all ingredients

until smooth. Serve as a dipping sauce for your calamari.
