- 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.
