Grilled Calamari
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 pounds squid, cleaned with tentacles
Instructions
Prepare grill for direct cooking over high heat. In a small bowl, combine olive oil and next 8 ingredients (through cayenne). Pat squid dry and separate bodies and tentacles. Place in a large bowl and toss with two-thirds of marinade; reserve remaining one-third. Grill squid, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and cooked through, about 3 minutes.* Serve with reserved marinade drizzled on top. Makes 6-8 servings.
*If using frozen squid that has already been sliced into rings, cook on a greased grill pan so squid doesn't fall through the grates.
