Method

Preparation

Rinse the squid thoroughly under cold water to remove any grit or impurities. Cut the squid into strips, keeping the tentacles intact.
Toss squid strips and tentacles with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
Preheat your griddle or grill on high heat for about 5 minutes.
Grill the squid for about 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway through until opaque and golden brown.
In a separate bowl, mix garlic, parsley, and breadcrumbs for the coating.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the grilled squid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, and garnish with fresh thyme before serving.

Notes

Ensure to grill for only 3-5 minutes to avoid rubbery squid. A hot grill is crucial for flavor.
