Spicy Japanese Calamari


This is a super fun and tasty appetizer. I made it for a sushi night but you could make it to go along with any kind of Asian meal. 
What you'll need-

About 1 pound of raw squid- cleaned and sliced
2 Serrano peppers sliced
1/3 pound raw shiitake mushrooms- chopped
3 cloves garlic- finely chopped
6 heirloom cherry tomatoes- diced
1/3 cup of soy sauce or liquid aminos
Black pepper
Butter
1 small Lemon
Sriracha hot sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise 

     Melt some butter in a pan on medium heat. Add in the Serrano peppers, tomatoes and shiitake mushrooms. If you don't want a lot of heat to the dish you can take the seeds out of the peppers. Sauté until the mushrooms start to become tender.  Add the garlic and the calamari. Squeeze half the lemon over the pan and season with black pepper to taste. Sauté for a few minutes and add the soy sauce. Sauté everything until the calamari looks cooked through. About 5 to 10 minutes. 

On the side take the mayonnaise add in a little squeeze of lemon and add sriricha to taste. Start with a little and add more for the spicier you want it. This will be the dipping sauce for the calamari. 
Serve and enjoy!
( I put the pictures of the hand rolled sushi I made. No recipes on those tonight. They were very labor intensive. Maybe I'll put them up one day)
