Grilled Calamari – Simple and Healthy

Grilled Calamari

Ever since I lost a lot of weight a year ago, I’ve kept it off by eating healthy during the work week.  One of my favorite things to eat is Grilled Calamari.  Fortunately for me, Sashimi, a local restaurant in town, has it and does a great job of fulfilling my need of it at least once a week. 

Yesterday it was too cold to get out for dinner so I decided to grill some calamari of my own.  It was a bit too spicy for my wife’s liking but I enjoyed it quite a bit.  Next time I’ll hold back on the chili sauce. 🙂

Ingredients (Feeds Two people):

  • 3 Calamari steaks
  • 1 Teaspoon Chili Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Paste
  • 1 Teaspoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Green Onion
  • 1 Fresno Pepper

Finely dice the onions and the pepper.  Thaw the calamari steaks if they are frozen.  Dry them off completely once thawed.  If they are wet they will not sear properly as you will spend more time evaporating water than cooking the protein.
