Squid With Basil And Lime




Ingredients:

1 lb cleaned squid, bodies cut 1/2
1 rings, and tentacles halved
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/4 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
1 tbsp peanut oil

Instructions:

Combine squid, basil, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes
in a bowl and mix well. Marinate squid, covered, in the refrigerator for

sizzles on the surface, about 45 seconds. Pour peanut oil into the wok,
add squid, and cook, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes, until squid is
opaque. Serve immediately.

pepper. (Serves 3)
