Instructions

Step 1

Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to medium-high. (Alternatively, heat a large cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat.) Toss shrimp, squid, and mullet in a large bowl with oil to coat evenly; season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Grill seafood, turning as needed, until charred and cooked through, 3 minutes for squid, 6 minutes for shrimp, and 7–8 minutes for mullet. Transfer all seafood as it finishes cooking to a large platter and squeeze with lemon.
