5. Place a large handful of rocket & baby spinach mix onto each plate. Top with squid and drizzle with hot marinade and lime juice

 

Extra notes

  • For a stronger hit, increase the amount of coriander and sweet chilli sauce
  • If you have time, let the squid pieces soak in the marinade (in the fridge) for an hour or so
