1
Prepare the Squid
Rinse the cleaned squid under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Cut the squid into rings or leave whole, depending on preference.
2
Marinate the Squid
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the squid and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Soak Skewers
While the squid marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4
Thread the Squid
Thread the marinated squid onto the soaked skewers, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
5
Grill the Skewers
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the squid skewers for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are charred and cooked through.
