Grilled Shrimp and Calamari
Total Time :5 hours 4 minutes
Yields :4 people
Ingredients
- 2 pounds cleaned calamari squid, tubes and tentacles separated but whole
- 2 pounds cleaned shrimp
- 2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 3 teaspoons red chile flakes
- ½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil divided
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice divided
- 2 teaspoon sea salt divided
- 1 loaf crusty bread such as ciabatta cut in half horizontally
- 2 lemons cut in half for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, calamari, garlic, chile flakes, parsley, ½ cup oil, 2 tbsp. lemon juice, and ½ tsp. salt. Chill, stirring often, 1 to 5 hours.
- Pour the shrimp, calamari, and marinade into a colander over a bowl. Brush marinade over cut sides of bread; grill on each side over high heat (450° to 550°) until grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes. Cut into slices.
- Grill the shrimp and calamari tubes, turning once, just until firm, 3 minutes. Meanwhile, using tongs, drop tentacles in clumps onto grill just to firm up, then spread out to cook evenly, 4 minutes total. Slice up the calamari, and put it and the shrimp in a dish and drizzle with remaining oil, lemon juice, and salt.
- Add to a platter. Serve up with some aioli, more of the marinade mixture for dipping, and place lemon wedges around the seafood. A squeeze of lemon and garnish with fresh parsley and cilantro. Serve with the crusty bread.
