Marinated Grilled Calamari Recipes

HEALTHY MARINATED AND GRILLED CALAMARI RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse the squid under cold running water and check for any cartilage and any internal fatty tissue masses. Pat dry and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together all of the remaining ingredients. Add the calamari and toss to coat in the marinade. Set the bowl aside for up to 30 minutes.
• Preheat your GF grill to high with the top closed. Place the drip tray at the end of the grill.
• Grill the calamari with the top closed for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes until just translucent and curling up. You may have to do this in 2 batches.
• Remove the cooked calamari to a cutting board and slice into rings. Serve with saffron infused rice, grilled veggies, and lemon wedges. (A rice recipe follows).

MARINATED GRILLED CALAMARI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine calamari, garlic, chile flakes, parsley, 1/3 cup oil, 2 tbsp. lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Chill, stirring often, 1 to 5 hours.
• Pour calamari and marinade into a colander over a bowl. Brush marinade over cut sides of bread; grill on each side over high heat (450° to 550°) until grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes. Cut into slices.
• Grill calamari tubes, turning once, just until firm, 3 minutes. Meanwhile, using tongs, drop tentacles in clumps onto grill just to firm up, then spread out to cook evenly, 4 minutes total. Put calamari in a dish and drizzle with remaining oil, lemon juice, and salt. Serve with bread.

CHAR-GRILLED SQUID IN SHERRY MARINADE

Steps:

• Method
• 1. To make the marinade, whisk all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the squid, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.
• 2. Prepare a hot fire in a grill. Oil a perforated grill rack or a cast-iron grill griddle and preheat on the grill.
• 3. Remove the squid from the marinade. Place the squid on the prepared grill rack and grill for 4 minutes, turning once, or until the squid are almost opaque all the way through and have crisped around the ends and tentacles. Do not overcook or they will become rubbery.
• 4. To serve, arrange on a platter, drizzle with olive oil, and scatter with parsley.
