Method

Preparation

1

Clean the Baby Octopus

Rinse the baby octopus under cold running water. Remove the beak from the center of the tentacles and any innards if necessary. Pat them dry with paper towels.

2

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Cooking

3

Marinate the Octopus

Place the cleaned baby octopus in the marinade and make sure they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

4

Cook the Octopus

Heat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated baby octopus to the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks.

5

Serve

Once cooked, remove the baby octopus from the grill. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
