Calamari

Garnish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Calamari

    Rinse the fresh calamari under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the head, innards, and cartilage, and cut the body into rings. Keep the tentacles whole.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Calamari

    Add the cleaned calamari rings and tentacles to the marinade. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean.

  2. 5

    Grill the Calamari

    Remove the calamari from the marinade and shake off excess. Place the calamari on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they become opaque and have grill marks.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Remove the calamari from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and additional chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
