Squid Garlic Butter Orzo
When was the last time you had squid?
I grew up loving crumbed calamari and honestly have always been intimated to cook squid, which was ridiculous as it’s literally the easiest thing to cook.
This is a delicious quick meal with tasty garlicy squid and flavourful risoni!
This recipe is in collaboration with Butcher Crowd
featuring their Wild Squid - look at the gorgeous colour and texture below!
