Atkins Seafood Recipes

Ingredients:

1 lb squid, &1
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, pushed through a press
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp peanut oil

Instructions:

&1: bodies cleaned, cut into 1/2' rings, tentacles 1/2ed

A quick marinade in fresh basil and lime tenderizes and flavors the squid.
A two-minute sauté finishes the dish.

1. 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 at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.

2. Heat a heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat until a drop of water
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.

To turn this dish into a refreshing seafood salad, cool the finished dish
in the refrigerator. Add 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
and 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper. Toss with an additional tbs each of oil
and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serves 3.
