Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh squid, cleaned
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Slice the cleaned squid bodies into rings about 1 cm thick. If the tentacles are large, you may need to cut them in half.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk the mixture well to create a marinade.
Add the squid rings and tentacles to the bowl with the marinade. Toss everything together to ensure the squid is evenly coated. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated squid onto the soaked skewers, dividing the pieces evenly among them.
Once the grill is hot, place the squid skewers on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the squid is fully cooked and has light grill marks. Be careful not to overcook, as squid can become tough if overcooked.
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately, drizzling with any leftover marinade if desired.
