This char-grilled squid in sherry marinade is a sophisticated yet simple seafood dish that brings the vibrant flavours of the Mediterranean coastline to your table. The combination of dry sherry, minced garlic and smoky paprika creates a deeply savoury base, while a pinch of red pepper flakes adds a subtle, warming heat. By marinating the squid for several hours, the flesh becomes beautifully infused with aromatics, ensuring every bite is succulent and full of character.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe is naturally high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent choice for a light lunch or a fresh dinner starter. Grilling the squid over a high heat provides a wonderful smoky finish and crisp edges without the need for heavy sauces. Serve this dish alongside a crisp green salad or roasted Mediterranean vegetables for a balanced and heart-healthy homemade meal.

Ingredients for Char-Grilled Squid in Sherry Marinade
60ml olive oil
60ml dry sherry
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 to 900g squid (or baby octopus), cleaned, long tentacles trimmed if desired
Extra-virgin olive oil
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley for garnish
How to make Char-Grilled Squid in Sherry Marinade
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.
Prepare a hot fire in a grill. Oil a perforated grill rack or a cast-iron grill griddle and preheat on the grill.
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.
To serve, arrange on a platter, drizzle with olive oil, and scatter with parsley.
