Simple Grilled Marinated Squid Recipe (video)

We got our hands on some really nice squid, and we decided to give it a nice little marinade and throw it on the grill! The flavours in this are Asian inspired with a bit of influence from Spanish ceviche as well. It's a bright and light flavour and goes very well with the nicely grilled squid. Just make sure not to overcook your squid! This is one of those tricky things, where a little bit overcooked and the squid will become quite chewy and rubbery, so you've got to keep an eye on it.

The squid we got came pre-cut in a format called "pineapple cut" (for obvious reasons). It lends itself well to grilling this way on skewers, but you can easily do the same with either rings or tentacles if you're careful. Do make sure to soak your skewers before putting them on the grill so that they don't catch fire and burn the squid!

because I've never had it when it wasn't like chewing on old bicycle tires.

I suppose I could try cooking it at home, but the flavor wasn't impressive enough for that.

If it's a little bit overcooked, it gets very chewy, but then if you cook it further, it can become tender again if you cook it the right way. Alton Brown had a graph on his old old Good Eats show.

For grilling, you need to do it just very briefly until it's hot through but not overcooked and chewy.
