Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 40-50 minutes until tender. Once cooked, remove it from the water and let it cool.

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cut the octopus into tentacles and brush them with olive oil, salt, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Cook on the Grill

    Place the octopus tentacles on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are charred and crispy.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Garlic Sauce

    In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add chopped parsley and remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the grilled octopus, drizzle with garlic sauce, and squeeze fresh lemon juice on top. Season with black pepper to taste.
