Seafood and Vegetables

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a pot of boiling water, cook the shrimp until pink and opaque (about 3-4 minutes). Remove and set aside. If using fresh octopus, boil until tender (about 30-40 minutes). If pre-cooked, just chop and set aside.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, chopped octopus, diced tomatoes, chopped serrano peppers, cucumber, and cilantro.

  3. 3

    Dress the Campechana

    Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold as a refreshing seafood cocktail.
