In a large bowl, combine the calamari rings, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss to coat the calamari evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Marinate the Calamari

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated calamari rings. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque and slightly golden. Avoid overcooking, as calamari can become tough.

Cook the Calamari

In a separate bowl, combine the Sriracha sauce, mayonnaise, honey, and lime juice. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Stir in the chopped cilantro for added freshness.

Mix the Sauce Ingredients

Once the calamari is cooked, remove from heat and serve immediately with the spicy sauce on the side for dipping.
