Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Squid

    Rinse the squid under cold water and remove the head and insides. Cut the squid into rings and keep the tentacles whole.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the squid and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Squid

    Skewer the squid rings and tentacles on skewers. Place them on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are slightly charred and cooked through.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Remove the squid from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle with additional garlic oil, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
