Fried Squid with Smoked Paprika Aioli
The bold flavor of smoked paprika is brought even more to the forefront when paired with some type of oil or fat, here the olive oil and egg yolk in the rich mayonnaise-based dipping sauce. It’s enhanced by a generous dose of garlic, then served as a companion to crunchy cornmeal-coated fried squid.
