    Prepare the Shellfish

    In a medium pot of boiling salted water, cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside. In the same pot, cook the squid for 2 minutes and the octopus for 3-4 minutes, then drain and chop into bite-sized pieces.

    Mix the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, octopus, squid, and crab meat. Add lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to combine all ingredients.

    Assemble the Tostadas

    Place the tostadas on a serving platter. Spoon the shellfish salad mixture generously over each tostada.

  4. 4

    Serve
