Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Squid

    Start by cleaning the squid. Rinse it under cold water, remove the head and tentacles, and then pull out the innards. Remove the transparent quill and skin, then cut the squid body into rings.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, juice of half the lemon, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes. Mix well to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Squid

    Add the cleaned squid rings and tentacles into the marinade. Toss to ensure they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Chop the Parsley

    While the squid is marinating, finely chop the parsley and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure it is hot before adding the squid.

  2. 6

    Cook the Squid

    Place the marinated squid on the grill or in the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and slightly charred. Do not overcook as squid can become rubbery.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the squid from heat. Squeeze the remaining lemon half over the squid, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
