# Instructions:

Slice the squid into rings if whole. Dry them off using a paper towel. Combine the rings with black pepper, salt, paprika, and red pepper flakes if you're using them.
02 -
Heat up butter or olive oil in a big frying pan on medium-high heat.
03 -
Toss the minced garlic into the pan, letting it cook for about half a minute until you smell it.
04 -
Place the squid in the pan and stir it around for a couple of minutes, just until it turns opaque and tender. Don’t let it cook too long, or it'll get chewy.
05 -
Squeeze in some lemon juice to brighten things up, sprinkle with parsley, and serve while still warm.
# Notes:

Take care not to overcook squid. It should be just tender, as overcooking makes it tough.
