1
Prepare the Octopus
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and simmer for about 45 minutes, until tender. Remove from water and allow to cool.
2
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
3
Marinate the Octopus
Cut the cooled octopus into manageable pieces and place them in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4
Grill the Octopus
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until charred and heated through.
5
Serve
Serve the grilled octopus with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
