Ingredients
- 500 grams squid (cleaned and cut into rings)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 10 pieces wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
First, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the cleaned squid rings to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Thread the marinated squid rings onto the soaked skewers, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Step 6
Once the grill is ready, place the squid skewers on the grill grates. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the squid is opaque and has a light char.
Step 7
Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Serve the grilled squid skewers immediately as a delightful appetizer or as part of a larger paleo meal.
