Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Meanwhile, cut the body of the squid lengthwise into ½-inch strips and the tentacles into pieces. When the water is boiling, drop the squid into the water and cook it for 30 seconds (the water will not return to the boil). Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    At serving time, divide the oil and butter between two skillets and place the skillets over high heat. When very hot, add the scallions and saute for about 10 seconds. Then add the squid, salt and pepper, and saute over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the garlic and parsley and divide among six plates. Serve immediately.

We liked this. Very easy and a good alternative to fried. A squeeze of lemon improved it.
