Grilled Calamari with Lemon and Herbs

Instructions

1. 1

   Clean the squid by removing the head, innards, and skin. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, juice of the lemon, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

3. 3

   Add the cleaned squid to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

4. 4

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

5. 5

   Once the grill is hot, place the marinated squid on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the squid is opaque and has grill marks.

6. 6

   Remove the squid from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

7. 7

   Garnish with additional lemon wedges and fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
