Sauteed Baby Octopus - cooking recipe

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

Preparation

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.
