1
Clean the Squid
Begin by cleaning the squid. Remove the head, innards, and cartilage. Rinse the squid under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
2
Prepare the Summer Squash
Wash the summer squash thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
3
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Add the nduja and mix until well combined.

4
Marinate the Squid
Place the cleaned squid in the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
5
Grill the Summer Squash
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the sliced summer squash with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until tender and grill marks appear.
6
Cook the Squid
Remove the squid from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the squid is opaque and has nice grill marks. Be careful not to overcook.
7
Serve
Arrange the grilled squid on a plate alongside the grilled summer squash. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
