Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

    Clean the calamari by removing the head, tentacles, and internal organs. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Calamari

    In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Add the cleaned calamari and toss to coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on the stovetop until hot.

  4. 4

    Grill the Calamari

    Place the marinated calamari on the hot grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and have nice grill marks. Do not overcook to avoid rubbery texture.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the calamari from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve with lemon wedges and additional chopped parsley if desired.
