Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Boil each type of seafood in salted water separately, until tender:
Octopus: You may have to purchase a whole octopus. A large one (more
than l pound) may require up to 2 hours; a smaller one may take only
l 1/2 hours. Cut the thick portions of cooked octopus meat into
1/2-inch rings, but leave the slender tips of the ten
Shrimp The shrimp are done when they turn pink about 3 to 4 minutes.
After cooking, cool and peel.
Crab meat Fresh crabmeat requires about 3 minutes of cooking. Cool and
remove meat from the shells.
Squid: Cut the squid into 1/4-inch rings, removing the hard core from
the head and separating the tentacles into 3 or 4 bunches. Boil only
for about l0 minutes; overcooking will toughen meat.
Prepare the sauce. Toss the prepared seafood with the vegetables and
cilantro. Serve in old-fashioned ice-cream sundae glasses or in fluted
goblets. If desired, you may garnish with slices of avocado. Makes
4 servings.
Cocktail Sauce: Mix together 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup fresh lime
juice, 1/4 cup water and salt to taste.
