1
Clean the Squid
Begin by cleaning the squid under cold running water. Remove the head and innards, and then peel away the skin, if necessary. Cut the squid into rings or leave whole, depending on your preference.
2
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. If you enjoy a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes to the marinade.

3
Marinate the Squid
Place the cleaned squid into the bowl with the marinade. Make sure the squid is well coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

4
Preheat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, make sure to oil the grates.
5
Cook the Squid
Once the grill or skillet is hot, add the marinated squid. If using rings, cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn opaque and lightly charred. If cooking whole squid, grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
6
Serve
Remove the squid from the heat and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added flavor.
