Ingredients
- Cuttlefish
- 2 lbs, cleaned and prepared
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup

- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste

Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
- Place the cleaned cuttlefish in a large bowl or dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Ensure the cuttlefish are well-coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Brush the grill grates with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the cuttlefish from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill.
- Grill the cuttlefish for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque, slightly charred, and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the cuttlefish from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the grilled cuttlefish on a platter, drizzled with the remaining marinade and garnished with lemon wedges for a fresh squeeze of juice.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider marinating the cuttlefish for up to an hour in the fridge.
- If you can't find fresh cuttlefish, you can substitute it with squid or octopus, adjusting the cooking time as necessary.
