The Giant Grilled Squid ($13) at Red Crawfish is a game changer in terms of grilled seafood. It starts with the fresh giant squid that is grilled perfectly with crispy edges on the squid head and tentacles. The grilling process requires a magic touch in keeping this squid texture soft yet with a chewy, smoky snap on each bite. The squid is topped with a sweet and spicy chili paste mixuture with green onions and a nice crunch from peanut crumbles. A squeeze of lemon balances out the burst of seafood freshness and a side of Chinese five spice used as a dry dip provide even more flavors to this simple dish. The portion and nicely sliced squid rings make this a great snacking food with friends or if you’re hungry a main entree for yours truly.
