Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh squid, cleaned
- 50 ml lemon juice
- 60 ml olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 30 grams fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8 units wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
Meanwhile, prepare the marinade by mixing together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl.
Cut the cleaned squid into rings if using tubes, or leave whole if using small squid. Add the squid to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Allow the squid to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C).
Thread the marinated squid pieces onto the soaked skewers, distributing evenly.
Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the squid is opaque and has grill marks. Be sure not to overcook, as squid can become rubbery.
Remove the squid skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled squid skewers hot, garnished with additional parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired.
