1
Prepare a medium-hot grill.
-
2
The coals should be ashed over, with no visible flames.

While the grill is heating, prepare the corn and tomato mixture.

Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels from the ears, scraping and saving any of the liquid from the cobs with the kernels.

6
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the butter over low heat.

Grill over the hot coals, turning once or twice, until the squid is opaque and shows a few grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes total.
