Grilled Calamari With Curried Crab Stuffing

  1. Rinse and drain tubes and tentacles. Pat tubes dry with a paper towel, and set aside (if you need to prep your veggies refrigerate them.) Count the number of tubes, and put at least that many round toothpicks in a bowl of water to soak.
  2. Roughly chop the tentacles, and combine with remaining ingredients in a bowl. Stir until mixture is well-combined.
  3. Individually stuff tubes with the mixture. A small spoon is helpful, but this is a fairly tedious process. Try not to get much stuffing on the outside of the squid tubes. Make sure to leave enough room at the opening to pin the tube shut in the end. It is better to err on the side of underfilling, if you have extra filling in the end you can stuff them a bit more. In cross section the stuffed squid should be oval.
  4. Once all of the tubes have been stuffed, use toothpicks to pin them shut. I found a back and forth twisting motion to be helpful. (You may cover & refrigerate these for several hours at this point if desired. Allow them 30 minutes to warm to room temperature before proceeding.) Brush entire squid with olive oil.
  5. Grill over direct medium-high heat (you can hold your hand over it about 3-4 seconds.) Turning every 2 minutes or so, until they are opaque, starting to brown, and a thermometer inserted into the fattest ones registers 160u0b0. Mine took about 6 minutes to cook, but it will vary depending on size and heat of your grill.
  6. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
