Preparation Steps

Clean the squid by removing the head, internal organs, and beak, then rinse under cold water and pat dry.
In a bowl, mix ground coriander, dried oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil until well combined. Coat the squid with this mixture and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F / 232°C) and ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
Score the squid on one side with shallow cuts to prevent curling while cooking.
Grill the squid for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it has a beautiful golden char.
Prepare the Ladolemono sauce by whisking together lemon juice and olive oil.
Once grilled, remove the squid from the grill, drizzle with the Ladolemono sauce, garnish and serve.
