Using sharp knife, cutting halfway up one side of each body sac.

Remove the squid from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels and mix the garlic and parsley.

When the griddle or the griller is hot enough , start putting the squid and cook for one minute.

As soon as the tentacles curl up and the body sacs turns inside out to form a little conical hat shapes.
