Costco Octopus Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 pounds of Ocean-Harvested Fresh Octopus

  ranging from baby to large, carefully chosen for optimal tenderness
• 4 Garlic Cloves

  artfully sliced into flavorful gems, releasing their aromatic dance
• Olive Oil

  a drizzle of Extra Virgin Elegance for a touch of Mediterranean richness
• 1 teaspoon of Sun-Dried Oregano

  adding a hint of Mediterranean warmth
• Juice from 2 Sun-Kissed Lemons

  freshly squeezed for a citrusy embrace
• Salt and Pepper

  a pinch of Sea Salt Crystals and Freshly Ground Pepper, perfectly balanced to taste
• 4 teaspoons of Handpicked Fresh Parsley

  finely chopped for a burst of herbal freshness and visual appeal

Instructions

• 1 Rinse the ocean-harvested fresh octopus under cold water. Remove any excess
  water and pat it dry with paper towels.
• 2 Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly
  oiled.
• 3 In a bowl, mix the sliced garlic cloves, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil,
  and sun-dried oregano to create a flavorful marinade.
• 4 Brush the fresh octopus with the garlic and olive oil marinade, ensuring even
  coverage. This not only imparts Mediterranean flavors but also helps prevent
  sticking on the grill.
• 5 Season the octopus with a pinch of sea salt crystals and freshly ground pepper.
  Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
• 6 Place the octopus on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes
  per side, or until the tentacles show grill marks and the flesh is cooked
  through. Be cautious not to overcook to maintain tenderness.
• 7 While grilling, baste the octopus with freshly squeezed lemon juice. This adds a
  refreshing citrusy touch to the dish.
• 8 Confirm the octopus is cooked by inserting a fork or knife into the thickest
  part. It should penetrate easily without resistance.
• 9 Sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley over the grilled octopus for a burst of
  herbal freshness and an appealing visual touch.
• 10 Transfer the grilled octopus to a serving platter. Serve it hot, either as an
  enticing appetizer or a delightful main course.
• 11 Gather around and relish the succulent, tender bites of ocean-harvested fresh
  octopus, enhanced by the flavorful blend of garlic, olive oil, lemon, and
  Mediterranean herbs.
