Grilled Baby Octopus Skewers

Baby Octopus Skewers - a version of a Mediterranean dish my husband and I shared while in Washington DC at a celebrity chef’s restaurant. I have had other versions, at sushi bars, tapas restaurants, all different and all unique and wonderful. I love the flavors or lemon and oregano.
