- 1 medium lemon
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Clean the squid by removing the head, cartilage, and innards from the body. Peel off the skin and cut the body into rings.
Step 2
Rinse the cleaned squid thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the prepared squid with the olive oil mixture until well coated.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the grill is hot, place the squid on the grill in a single layer, ensuring the pieces are evenly spaced.
Step 7
Grill the squid for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until lightly charred and cooked through. The squid should be opaque and tender.
Step 8
Remove the squid from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 9
Garnish with additional lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a delightful keto-friendly appetizer or main course.
