Ingredients
- 500 grams squid, cleaned and cut into rings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 1 whole lemon wedges for serving
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Add the squid rings to the marinade and mix until well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3
While the squid is marinating, soak the bamboo skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Thread the marinated squid rings onto the soaked bamboo skewers.
Step 6
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the squid is opaque and has light grill marks.
Step 7
Remove the squid skewers from the grill and transfer them to a platter.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
