These are not “grilled” at all but cooked on a plancha, a hot flat-top griddle similar to those used by short-order chefs. But you can grill them, too. Both ways work fine, but in either case the heat should be very intense and the cooking time very short.

The squid should be the smallest you can find, preferably about the size of an average adult’s thumb.
