If you enjoy grilled calamari this is the meal for you. This simple squid can be served over rice, pasta or on toasted bread. My Chief Tasting Officer (aka husband) wished out loud the dinner plate was piled high with the squid. "I could eat this all night long," he said.
This meal is also inexpensive. The squid cost $3.99 at Ha Tien Grocery (353 University Ave. St. Paul). This is a simple and fast meal you can make any day of the week.
What you'll need:
1 package of frozen squid, thawed
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 tablespoon of sweet paprika (you can buy it at Penzeys Spices)
2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar (or regular wine)
1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
3 tablespoons of fish sauce *
1/8 teaspoon of pepper
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh cilantro, chopped
*You can use the juice that the squid comes in for this dish
Heat oil in a saute pan on medium high heat. Add garlic, paprika, and salt to the mixture and reduce heat. Cook on low heat until the garlic is tender and the olive oil becomes a darker color. Add fish sauce, lemon juice and white wine vinegar. Cook for two minutes. Add squid, parsley and cilantro. Stir and saute for 6 minutes or until the squid is opaque and cooked well. Serve over pasta, rice or on bread.
