Grilled Squid
Topic: Squids
We used to eat medium-large squids (white variety) in Philippines everytime we dine at any seafoods restaurant in Iligan, Cagayan or Davao and I really miss those squids. Unfortunately I cannot find that kind of squids here in Kuwait, I stayed here for more than 4 years and until now I did not able to see it yet in the fish markets here. All they have here are the pink variety (not so large), and one very large variety, the thick one, I forgot the real name of this squids which I cooked it this way and this way and this way and also this way. LOL :)

Ingredients:
Medium squids
1 medium onion, minced
2 tbsp. crushed ginger
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
3 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. black pepper powder
Sesame oil (optional)

Directions:
1. Mix together onion, ginger and garlic powder.
2. Make some slits at the squids' belly horizontally. Insert few amount of onion mixture to each slit.
3. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil and black pepper powder.
4. Brush each squid with few amount of soy sauce mixture.
5. Grill over medium heat brushing occassionally to avoid drying until done.
