Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 pound calamari (tubes only)
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Freshly cracked pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (minced)

Instruction

  • Clean calamari tubes well, running water through the inside. If there is a small membrane or muscle still attached at the bottom, cut this off so water can flow freely through the cylinder. Pat tubes dry.
  • In a shallow dish, lie whole calamari tubes in a single layer. Cover with fresh lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 40 minutes.
  • Heat grill to high heat. Remove calamari tubes from the refrigerator and drain lemon juice. Brush grill with vegetable oil and heat to a medium temperature. 
  • Place calamari tubes on indirect grill heat for 2-3 minutes per side do not overcook. Calamari should be white and firm.
  • Remove from grill to a cutting board. Cut calamari into rings and place into a medium mixing bowl. Toss with cracked pepper and finely chopped parsley.
  • Serve immediately and while hot. Enjoy your Lemon Pepper Grilled Calamari!
