1. 1

   Prepare the Octopus

   Clean the octopus thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the beak and ink sac if not already done.

   Cook the Octopus

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until tender.

   Sauté the Garlic

   In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

   Once the octopus is cooked and tender, drain and cut into bite-sized pieces. Add the octopus to the pan with garlic, and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and the juice of the lemon.

   Finish with Parsley

   Toss everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
