Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Rinse the calamari tubes under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the calamari tubes and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3
Remove the calamari from the marinade and thread them onto skewers, if using. Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.
4
Grill the calamari for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it's cooked through and slightly charred. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a side of lemon wedges.
