Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams squid, cleaned and cut into rings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 1 whole lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the squid rings to the marinade and mix until well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
While the squid is marinating, soak the bamboo skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated squid rings onto the soaked bamboo skewers.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the squid is opaque and has light grill marks.
Remove the squid skewers from the grill and transfer them to a platter.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
