1
Prepare the Clams and Oysters
Rinse the clams and oysters under cold water to remove any sand. Keep them on ice until ready to serve.
2
Steam the Shrimp and Lobster
In a steamer, bring water to a boil. Add the shrimp and lobster. Steam for about 5-7 minutes for the shrimp and 10-12 minutes for the lobster, or until cooked through. Remove and let cool on ice.
3
Prepare the Octopus Salad
Boil octopus in salted water for about 30-40 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool. Cut into bite-sized pieces and mix with olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until serving.
4
Plate the Seafood
On a large serving platter, arrange the clams and oysters on one side, followed by the steamed shrimp and lobster. Add the octopus salad in the center, and finally, place the Portuguese crab around the platter. Serve chilled.
