Red Onion, sliced – 1 medium 19. Fresh Red Chilies – 2 20. Tomato Chili Sauce – ½ cup Recipe 1. Clean the squid thoroughly by removing the internal organs, transparent cartilage, and outer membrane. Rinse under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels. 2. Make shallow diagonal cuts across the squid bodies without cutting all the way through. These cuts help the marinade penetrate the meat and create an attractive grilled pattern. 3. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, red chili paste, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, paprika, black pepper, salt, cumin, grated ginger, and red chili flakes. Mix until a smooth, flavorful marinade forms. 4. Add the cleaned squid to the marinade and coat every surface thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to allow the garlic, chili, and spices to infuse the seafood. 5. Remove the squid from the refrigerator about 10 minutes before cooking. Preheat a grill or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then lightly grease the cooking surface. 6. Place the squid on the hot grill and cook for approximately 2–3 minutes per side, depending on its size. Turn carefully with tongs until the squid develops dark golden grill marks and becomes opaque. 7. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining marinade only if it has been reserved before touching raw seafood; otherwise, use a fresh mixture of garlic, chili paste, and lemon juice. 8. Brush the grilled squid with the melted butter during the final minute of cooking. Avoid overcooking, as squid can become tough and rubbery. Cook until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). 9. Transfer the squid to a serving platter and spoon any fully cooked garlic-chili butter over the top. Sprinkle generously with freshly chopped cilantro for a bright, fresh finish. 10. Arrange the cooked white rice on a large serving plate or banana leaf. Add sliced red onion, fresh red chilies, and lemon wedges around the squid to create a colorful restaurant-style presentation. 11. Serve the tomato chili sauce in a small bowl alongside the grilled squid. The sweet, tangy, and spicy sauce complements the smoky seafood beautifully. 12. Slice the squid into thick rings or serve it whole, drizzled with extra lemon juice. Enjoy immediately while hot with steamed rice and additional chili sauce.
