Ingredients

• 7 ounces calamari (tubes and tentacles)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, finely minced
• Pinch of salt and pepper
• 1 teaspoon red chile pepper flakes
• ½ lemon for garnish
• Chopped parsley, for garnish

Preparation

1. Rinse and dry calamari.
2. Slice calamari tubes vertically in ¼-inch increments, taking care not to cut through the entire tube. This will give the tubes a nice "ribbed" look when grilled.
3. Add sliced calamari tubes and tentacles to a sealable plastic bag, then add oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
4. Marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
5. When ready to grill, lightly oil a stovetop grill pan and place over medium-high heat.
6. When very hot, remove calamari from marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes, turning once.
7. Transfer cooked calamari to a plate and garnish with freshly squeezed lemon and chopped parsley.
