Ingredients

  • 2 lbs baby octopus, fresh
  • olive oil
  • lemon juice, sprinkle
  • salt, sprinkle
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme

Method

  • Rinse octopi in running water. Cut head lengthwise and remove excess matter including the beak. **We separated the heads from the bodies on some of the octopi
  • Add lemon juice to Octopi as they're waiting to be cooked.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet. Add minced garlic and cook until browned.
  • Add Octopi and sprinkle with herbs and salt.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat, until octopi is firm and turn purple. **I cooked mine for about 7 minute Like I said, I don't know if that was too long, since it was my first time, but better be safe than sorry when it comes to cooking seafood.
  • Cover and cook the final minute if needed.
