Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 4 Lemon wedges
- 6 Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Clean the squid by removing the innards, beak, and the clear cartilage. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and slice the bodies into rings, leaving the tentacles whole. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the squid to the marinade, stirring to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated squid onto the skewers, alternating between rings and tentacles for even cooking.
Grill the skewers for 5 minutes on each side, or until the squid is opaque and lightly charred, being careful not to overcook to avoid toughening.
Remove from the grill and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the squid.
