Smoky Grilled Stuffed Squid

Grilled Stuffed Squid is a dish of marinated squid stuffed with tomato and onion, then grilled over hot charcoal. The best place to cook this is at the beach when you’re on holiday with the family. You’re guaranteed to find delicious and fresh seafood, and the recipe for this is so easy it almost cooks itself!

My secret to cooking the best Grilled Stuffed Squid is not overcooking the squid; otherwise, it can become dry and tough. Instead, the charcoal should be hot enough that the squid starts browning within a couple of minutes of being placed on the BBQ.
