If you like fried calamari you'll LOVE grilled calamari. If you're not used to the way squid looks, then you can buy them already chopped in rings, you can cut them yourself, or even open up the long head and make calamari steaks-- my family
prefers them whole. My favorite marinade is the juice from a lemon or 2 limes, a few heavy shakes of paprika and cayanne pepper, a generous amount of crushed garlic, and at least half a cup of tequila (I've done this same recipe with whiskey instead and gotten a completely different but delicious result.. both are great and worth trying). Marinate the squid from 30 minutes to two hours, then after your grill is good and fired, place the squid over the heat. If you have lots of small pieces be sure to use a grill basket so you wont loose any in the fire and brimstone below. Cook them as charred as you like and serve with some more fresh lemon juice. This smoky aromatic treat is sure to impress anyone at your table.
