Instructions

. Clean the squid thoroughly, removing the innards and beak. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Score the squid using a paring knife to allow the marinating sauce to seep through.

If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to get white-hot. For a gas grill, set it to medium-high heat. Place the squid on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the squid is lightly charred and cooked through.

Use a cooking brush to brush on any leftover marinating sauce. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the squid tough.
