How to Prepare Grilled Squid
Let’s start preparing the Grilled Squid. Clean the squid by removing the innards and take out the cartilage found on the squid’s back by simply pulling it out. Use a knife to remove the beak and eyes, wash them under running water, and then let them drain in a colander or pat them dry under running water.
Heat a griddle, and when it’s hot, arrange the squid on it, let them cook for a few minutes, then use tongs or a fork to turn them and cook for a few minutes more. Be careful not to leave them too long, as they will dry out and become tough. Cooking time varies depending on the size of the squid.
When the grilled squid is cooked, place them on a plate and season with salt, pepper, chopped parsley, and plenty of oil. If you like, you can also add lemon, and serve hot.
