Chunky garlic and lemon calamari

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
1-2 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 calamari steaks
  • 50 - 100 g butter
  • 1 juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 cloves garlic

Method

Score the surface of calamari steaks in a crisscross pattern. Place butter in a pan over a medium to low heat with the juice of lemon and cloves garlic, roughly chopped.

Add the calamari. Turn up the heat and sear for 1 to 2 minutes until the butter has browned and the steaks are cooked through.
