Instructions

In a bowl, combine all Marinade ingredients and marinate the Calamari for at least 1 hour, refrigerated.
Just before frying, whisk together Tempura flour, ice water, and Potato starch until a light batter forms. Do not overmix.
Heat Grapeseed oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
Dip the marinated Calamari into the Tempura batter, ensuring it's lightly coated.
Fry the Calamari in batches for 1-2 minutes, or until golden and extremely crispy.
Remove the fried Calamari and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
While Calamari is frying, prepare the Dipping Sauce by combining all Dipping Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
