Ingredients
Method
Put garlic, chilli, ginger, lime leaf and peanut in a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside. Combine sauces and sesame oil in a separate bowl and set aside.
Cut squid hoods open, reserving tentacles.
Score inside of hoods in a fine cross-hatch pattern.
Preheat barbecue hotplate to medium-high. Cut squid into long strips and put in a bowl. Add vegetable oil and toss to coat. Add squid to barbecue and cook until it starts to curl, then add shallot and cook for a further 1 minute. Add garlic mixture, stir and cook for another minute or until very aromatic.
Pour sauce mixture over squid and cook for a further 1 minute. Sprinkle with toasted coconut and serve with lime wedges on the side.
