Cook the shrimp
In a large skillet over medium heat, add half of the marinade. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.

Cook the mussels
In the same skillet, add the mussels along with the remaining marinade. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.

Cook the calamari
Add the calamari to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are opaque and tender.

If using precooked crab legs, simply add them to the skillet for the last 2 minutes to heat through. If raw, steam them for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
