Grilled Calamari
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Marinate the Calamari
In a large bowl, combine the cleaned calamari, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the calamari evenly. Allow it to marinate for about 30 minutes at room temperature.

Prepare the Oregano-Lemon Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, chopped oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Grill the Calamari
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, skewer the marinated calamari onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the calamari is opaque and slightly charred.
