  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    Clean the octopus thoroughly, removing the beak and internal organs. Rinse under cold water.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the octopus to the bowl, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Octopus

    Remove the octopus from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until charred and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the grill, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
