    How to Make Grilled Squid

    1. Clean the Squid

    Begin by cleaning the squid thoroughly; this involves removing the innards, beak, and cartilage. Once cleaned, pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they are ready for marinating.

    2. Season and Marinate

    Season the squid with olive oil, salt, fresh-ground black pepper, and a sprinkle of dried chile flakes. Add chopped fresh marjoram and allow the squid to marinate for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together.

    3. Skewer the Squid

    Carefully skewer the squid, using bamboo skewers, threading the squid bodies so they lay flat, and secure the tentacles across the ring to ensure they cook evenly on the grill.

    4. Grill the Squid

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Place the skewered squid on the grill and cook for a few minutes on each side until it is slightly firm to the touch, creating beautiful grill marks.

    5. Serve

    Remove the squid from the grill and serve them either hot or at room temperature as a light appetizer or a main course.
