Servings: 4

Ingredients

Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons, plus more for brushing)
Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
Salt (1 teaspoon)
Brown sugar (1 tablespoon)
Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Sriracha sauce (2 tablespoons)
Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
Lime juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
Squid (1 pound, cleaned and scored)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
Add the cleaned and scored squid to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to infuse all the flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking and ensure a nice char.
Remove the squid from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and reserve the marinade for basting during grilling.
Place the squid on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade, until the squid is cooked through and has beautiful grill marks.
Once done, carefully remove the grilled squid from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
Slice the grilled squid into rings and serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro. Enjoy with lime wedges on the side for an extra zest.
