Best Squid In Sherry Sauce Recipes

Squid with Ginger-Soy Sauce Marinade image

Provided by Tadashi Ono

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons mirin
1 pound small squid (bodies and tentacles), cleaned

Steps:

Mix together the soy sauce, ginger, and mirin in a large bowl to make the marinade. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade and set aside. Lay the squid in the remaining liquid, gently turning 4 times to coat all over. Marinate the squid for 10 minutes at room temperature, turning once.
Preheat a grill to hot. Grill the squid for about 4 minutes (5 minutes if they're larger than 1 ounce apiece). Every 30 seconds flip the squid and brush on the reserved marinade. The squid will turn from translucent to white when they're ready, becoming tender and releasing a rich aroma. Be careful not to overcook; squid turns rubbery if grilled too long. Serve immediately.

Char-Grilled Squid in Sherry Marinade image

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Sherry Marinade
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup dry sherry
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 to 2 pounds squid (or baby octopus), cleaned, long tentacles trimmed if desired
Extra-virgin olive oil
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley for garnish

Steps:

Method
1. To make the marinade, whisk all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the squid, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.
2. Prepare a hot fire in a grill. Oil a perforated grill rack or a cast-iron grill griddle and preheat on the grill.
3. Remove the squid from the marinade. Place the squid on the prepared grill rack and grill for 4 minutes, turning once, or until the squid are almost opaque all the way through and have crisped around the ends and tentacles. Do not overcook or they will become rubbery.
4. To serve, arrange on a platter, drizzle with olive oil, and scatter with parsley.
