Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cuttlefish

    Clean the baby cuttlefish under running cold water, removing any innards and beaks. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Cuttlefish

    In a bowl, combine the cleaned cuttlefish with grapefruit juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Scallions

    While the cuttlefish is marinating, wash and chop the scallions into small pieces, separating the green parts from the white parts.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cuttlefish

    Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated cuttlefish and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are opaque and tender.

  5. 5

    Add Scallions

    Add the white parts of the scallions to the pan with the cuttlefish and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pan from heat. Transfer the cuttlefish to a serving plate, garnish with the green parts of the scallions and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
