Grilled Octopus Recipe

Grilled Octopus Preparation

1. 1

   Preparing the Octopus

   In a large pot, bring enough water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until tender. Remove from water and let it cool.

2. 2

   Marinating the Octopus

   Once the octopus is cool enough to handle, cut it into tentacle pieces. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the octopus pieces to the marinade and let it soak for at least 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Grilling the Octopus

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated octopus on the grill, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely charred and heated through.
