1
Clean the Octopus
Rinse the octopus under cold water to remove any debris or salt. Pat dry with paper towels.
2
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
3
Marinate the Octopus
Place the cleaned octopus in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the octopus, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5
Grill the Octopus
Remove the octopus from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the octopus is charred and cooked through.
6
Rest the Octopus
Once cooked, remove the octopus from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

7
Plate the Dish
Slice the octopus into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
