Ingredients

  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp oregano leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice, plus lemon halves, to serve
  • 125 ml (½ cup) olive oil
  • 2 (about 500 g) octopus, cleaned, cut into large pieces
  • 200 g cuttlefish, cleaned, cut into large pieces
  • 500 g extra-large green prawns
  • 500 g mussels, scrubbed, bearded
  • 125 ml (½ cup) dry white wine

Instructions

Place garlic, oregano, lemon juice and 60 ml oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, set aside.

Drizzle remaining 65 ml oil over octopus, cuttlefish and prawns and toss to coat. Preheat a barbecue or chargrill pan to high heat and cook octopus and cuttlefish for 4 minutes on each side or until tender. Cook prawns for 2 minutes on each side or until just cooked.
