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.
