Sauteed Calamari in Lime and Garlic

Hello paleo friends! Sorry for the delay in posts, I am back.

Today, we're going to make a really simple recipe that cooks up fast and is really delicious and very healthy.

What you'll need:

Olive or avocado oil
1 cup lime juice
1 tbsp garlic - chopped
1- 1.5 pounds of calamari - cut up or 1 -2 packages of TJs Seafood blend (you can find this in their frozen section)
Crushed red pepper
Cayenne
Sea salt
Pepper


In a deep pan  or dutch oven, saute the garlic in olive oil for about 2 minutes, be careful not to scorch the garlic. Add the lime juice, spices and the seafood last. Simmer covered for about 15 minutes. Stirring occasionally. I tend to simmer mine a little longer than that but you can decide how tender you want your calamari. Calamari is a funny protein. The lime juice helps the calamari from getting rubbery - as it often can when cooking. So if it feels a little rubbery, just let it saute for a few minutes more until it feels tender.

You can eat this the way it is or have it over greens. If you feel like going off the paleo plan, I also recommend having this over rice - it's absolutely fabulous this way and gives the rice a really rich flavor.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
