A lavish platter of assorted seafood preparations opens any Italian coastal meal. This high protein mediterranean spread is a fresh, festive family starter perfect for celebrations.
Clean and prep the shrimp, squid, mussels, and octopus. Slice squid into rings and octopus into bite-size pieces.
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer (medium-low heat). Poach the shrimp and squid for 2–3 minutes, just until opaque, then remove with a slotted spoon.
In the same water, add mussels and cover. Steam until shells open (about 5–7 minutes). Discard any unopened mussels.
Quickly blanch the octopus for 30 seconds and cool immediately in ice water to preserve tenderness.
Arrange arugula on a large platter. Toss poached seafood with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Top with cherry tomatoes, fresh parsley, and lemon wedges. Serve immediately, with the seafood still slightly warm for optimal flavor.
