1 pound squid calamari, tubes only (about 20 pieces)
¼ cup Challenge Garlic Parmesan with Herbs Spreadable Butter, melted and divided
lemon wedges, for serving
chopped parsley, for garnish
crusty bread, for serving

Directions

1

Preheat grill to high heat.
2

Use paper towels to thoroughly pat squid dry, inside and out. Place in a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons melted Challenge Garlic Parmesan with Herbs Spreadable Butter. Thread 5 squid tubes onto a metal skewer (use two skewers, if desired, to prevent spinning.)

Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until charred on edges and just opaque. Transfer to a platter, squeeze with fresh lemon juice and drizzle with remaining melted Challenge Garlic Parmesan with Herbs Spreadable Butter. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately, with crusty bread.
