1 cup mayonnaise ((low fat is fine))
3 tsp Sriracha or Thai garlic-chili sauce
2 lbs fresh calamari ((tubes and tentacles), rinsed and sliced into rings)
2 cups buttermilk ((low fat is fine))
2 cups all-purpose flour

In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and Sriracha. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve.
Add the buttermilk to a bowl. Add the calamari, and let it soak; chill for at least 1 hour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper and paprika. Remove the calamari from the buttermilk and dredge it in the flour mixture. Shake off the excess, and separate the rings and tentacles.
Pour oil to depth of 2 inches into a large pot; heat to 365°F. Fry the calamari, in batches, 1 minute or until done. Drain on paper towels, and serve warm with the spicy mayonnaise.
