Marinade and Calamari

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Calamari

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, lime juice, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the cleaned calamari to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Calamari

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the calamari from the marinade, shaking off excess marinade. Grill the calamari for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them as they can become rubbery.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Remove the calamari from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for garnish. Serve immediately with lime wedges and extra sriracha sauce on the side if desired.
