Grilled Salt and Pepper Squid (Calamari)
"This simple recipe for Salt and Pepper Calamari (also known as salt and pepper squid) is fast and delicious to cook up - plus it's low-fat compared to the usual deep-fried calamari. This dish is superb when grilled on the barbecue, literally taking only minutes to cook. The salt & pepper barbecue rub is equally easy to make - just toss a few dry spices together, and you're done! This calamari recipe makes a great appetizer, or serve as the main course together with rice, a salad, or other side dishes. And if the weather doesn't cooperate, this calamari can also be pan-fried. Enjoy!..."
