My Greek friend, Spiros, will laugh at this... it's certainly not going to be a Calamari for him.
A delicious Filipino dish, mini crabs cooked in coconut milk, shrimp paste, garlic, ginger, and chili or "silleh", green onions, with a dash of fish sauce. I usually add the "Silleh" at the end so I can measure the spicyness. The mini crabs go in second to the last, you don't want them over cooked.
Vinegar with crushed garlic is a good dipping sauce for this dish.
How do you eat it ?.. remove the top shell, split the body into two (by hand), dip into vinegar/garlic sauce, and eat the body (not the legs, they're pretty sharp). The "Gata" (coconut milk) is good over rice.
Try it.
