If using frozen octopus, ensure it’s thawed overnight in the fridge. Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Carefully add the octopus and cook for 30 minutes.

While the octopus is boiling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Allow at least 10-15 minutes for the grill grates to become hot.

Remove the octopus from the pot and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle olive oil over it, sprinkle paprika, and squeeze lemon or lime juice for flavor.

Place the seasoned octopus tentacles on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until charred.

Remove the octopus from the grill and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
