BBQ Calmari

When it comes to food, especially seafood, I say less is more. Sauces and overzealous spicing can easily destroy the aromas and subtle flavours of produce. BBQ calamari is an easy and fast recipe that demands only simplicity.

Serves 2:
-8 calamaris
-1 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice
-2 tbsp olive oil
-pinch of salt
-pinch of black pepper
-1 tbs capers
-chopped chives


1. Prepare BBQ.
2. Cut up each calamari into six thick strips and score them. (Scoring calamari tenderizes its flesh, allowing for a faster cooking time and a better texture.)
3. In a bowl, mix calamari, 1 tbsp of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
4. Kebab your calamari (so it doesn't fall through the grill).
5. BBQ calamari 4 minutes on one side and 3 min on the other.
6. Take calamari off of the sticks into a bowl. Add the rest of the olive oil, chives, and capers. You can also adjust the flavour by adding more lemon juice.

Enjoy.
