• Do not overcook the calamari as it can become tough and rubbery. Keep an eye on them while grilling.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading the calamari to prevent burning.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the skewers in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
