- Then lower to a gently simmer until the octopi are tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

- Drain the octopi, discarding the cooking liquid, and cool to room temperature.
- Marinade/Vinaigrette:.
- Put the garlic, balsamic vinegar, pepper sauce, and shallot in a small saucepan on medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Cool the vinegar mixture.
- Put the cooled vinegar mixture, capers, and parsley in a large bowl and whisk in the olive oil until incorporated.
- Taste to adjust the seasoning and add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Remove 1/3 of the vinaigrette and reserve for after grilling.
- Add octopi to bowl and toss marinade overnight.
- Preheat grill on high.
- Grill the octopi for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side and serve with the reserved vinaigrette.
- Pour over the octopus and serve.
