Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid, cleaned
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 2
Clean the squid by removing the head, innards, and outer skin. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Cut the cleaned squid into 1-inch wide rings. If desired, also cut the tentacles into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 5
Add the squid rings and tentacles to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Step 6
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 7
Thread the marinated squid pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between rings and tentacles.
Step 8
Place the squid skewers onto the hot grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the squid is opaque and has a slight char.
Step 9
Remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 10
Serve the grilled squid skewers hot, paired with lemon wedges for extra zest if desired.
