Ingredients
- 1 lb
- whole calamari (about 4), cleaned and longer tentacles trimmed
- 500 g
- 1 tbsp
- finely grated fresh ginger
- 15 mL
- 1 tbsp
- soy sauce
- 15 mL
- 1 tsp
- sesame oil
- 5 mL
- 4
- metal or soaked wooden skewers (8 in./20 cm)
- 1 tbsp
- sesame seeds
- 15 mL
Directions
Step 1
Without slicing all the way through, cut cross-wise into the body (tubular section) of the calamari every 1/2-in. (1-cm) into a series of "rings" left intact along one side.
Step 2
In large bowl, combine the ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil. Add calamari, turn to coat with mixture and marinate 10 min.
Step 3
Thread skewers in and out through the calamari "rings". Place on grill preheated to high. Close lid and cook -- but lifting lid to turn often -- until calamari is firm, white and no longer translucent, about 4 min. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
