Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid, cleaned and bodies sliced into rings
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the squid under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the body into rings about 1/2 inch thick; leave the tentacles whole.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture together until well combined.
Step 3
Add the squid rings and tentacles to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat the squid thoroughly. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to intensify the flavors.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated squid rings and tentacles on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the squid is opaque and slightly charred. Avoid overcooking as this will make the squid rubbery.
Step 6
Remove the squid from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 7
Garnish the grilled squid with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Step 8
Enjoy your Dairy-Free Simple Grilled Squid with Lemon and Herbs as an appetizer or a light main course.
