Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, toss the 12 shrimp, 8 oz octopus, 12 mussels, and 8 scallops with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp salt until coated.

  2. Step 2

    Grill the shrimp and scallops for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and lightly charred, about 5 minutes total. Remove to a platter.

  3. Step 3

    Grill the octopus and mussels for 3-4 minutes, turning once, until mussels open and octopus is heated through with grill marks, about 4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer all seafood to a serving platter. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the top and drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped parsley and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges if desired.
