Step 3: Discard heads and pull transparent quills out of tubes and discard.

Step 5: Cut tubes on one side, flatten and score inside in a criss-cross pattern and cut into quarters lengthways.
Step 6: Combine calamari, tentacles, olive oil, lemon rind and juice, oregano, garlic and chilli in a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight to marinate.
Step 7: Preheat a barbecue plate on high and cook calamari turning for 2 to 3 minutes until browned and just opaque.
