- 3/4 pound cleaned squid, bodies cut into 1-inch rings and tentacles cut into 2-inch lengths
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 pomelo or Oro Blanco grapefruit (see Note), or 4 Cara Cara oranges
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Pinch of crushed red pepper

Instructions
- Place the squid in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the pomelo; be sure to remove all of the bitter white pith. Working over a large bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the sections. Chop the sections into 1/2-inch pieces and return them to the bowl. Squeeze any extra juice from the membranes into the bowl.
- In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering. Add the squid and cook over high heat, tossing, until bright white, about 2 minutes. Transfer the squid to the bowl with the pomelo, add the crushed pepper and toss; season with salt. Arrange the squid and pomelo on a platter and top with the mint. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
