Ingredients:

500g octopus, cleaned
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 ears corn, husked
1 red capsicum, quartered
1 zucchini, sliced
1 tbsp butter
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

1 Prepare and Marinate the Octopus
Rinse the octopus well and pat dry. In a bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the octopus to coat, then set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
2 Grill the Octopus and Vegetables
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Add the octopus and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, until charred. Grill the corn, capsicum, and zucchini until tender and slightly charred. Remove everything from the grill and cut the octopus into bite-sized pieces.
3 Combine and Serve
In a large bowl, toss the grilled vegetables with butter, lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Add the octopus pieces, toss to combine, and season to taste. Serve hot and enjoy this smoky, vegetable-rich dish.
