Cooking Steps
- Start by placing the frozen baby octopus in the pressure cooker and covering them with water. Lock the lid and set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 12 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, carefully perform a manual pressure release to let out the steam and cool slightly.
- In a medium skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Carefully add the dried baby octopus to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until they start to develop a golden char.
- Incorporate the chopped garlic and butter into the skillet with the octopus, sautéing until the garlic turns pale golden.
- Sprinkle in the oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring well for an additional minute.
- Drizzle fresh lime juice over the sautéed octopus and mix thoroughly for a zesty brightness.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and optional grape tomatoes.

Notes
Ensure to dry the baby octopus thoroughly for a beautiful char. If not using a pressure cooker, cook in a regular pan for about 40 minutes. Experiment with different vegetables for added flavor and nutrition.
