Grilled Colima Calamari

Directions

1. Fire up your grill. Combine the garlic clove, orange juice, lemon juice, chili powder, cayenne and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil and toss in a small handful of the cilantro. Add the calamari and toss. Let set for 20 minutes or so or until the grill is super hot.
2. Remove the calamari from the marinade. You can either use of those wire fish fillet basket contraptions for the grill, or you can double-skewer the squid bodies cross-wise, two or three at a time, so they don't curl up and fall into the fire. (If you decide to use wooden skewers, soak them first for 30 minutes). Either way, season the calamari with pepper and a bit more salt and grill them on one side for a couple of minutes, until some charring starts.
3. Baste with some of the remaining marinade, flip over and grill another minute or so or until the second side looks as good as the first side. Pile onto a platter, spoon a bit of the marinade over if you like (we did) and sprinkle with the remaining cilantro.
