Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Squid

    Start by cleaning the squid. Rinse them under cold water, remove the head and innards, and peel off the outer skin. Cut the cleaned squid into rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop Garlic and Parsley

    Finely chop the garlic cloves and the fresh parsley. Set them aside for the marinade.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Marinate the Squid

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cleaned squid rings, chopped garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Mix well to ensure that the squid is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Squid

    Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated squid to the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn opaque and have nice grill marks. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Remove the cooked squid from the heat and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with extra parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
