Step 1
Place octopus in a large pot with bay leaf and peppercorns, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 to 60 minutes until a knife slides in easily at the thickest part.
Step 2
Drain and let cool slightly, then cut into large chunks. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan to high heat and cook octopus pieces for 2 to 3 minutes per side until charred at the edges.
Step 4
Transfer to a serving tray, drizzle with remaining olive oil, scatter parsley generously over the top, and tuck lemon wedges throughout.
