1
Prepare the Octopus
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove from water and let cool.
2
Marinate
Once cool, cut the octopus into tentacles. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add the octopus and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Grill the Octopus
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus tentacles for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and crispy.
4
Serve
Remove from the grill and serve drizzled with additional olive oil and lemon juice, garnished with parsley.
