Preparation
- Rinse the cleaned octopus under cold water and place it in a large pot. Add chopped celery, a halved lemon, bay leaf, peppercorns, an optional wine cork, and salt. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 40-45 minutes, until the octopus is tender.
- In a separate pot, fill with water and add the juice of one lemon, a tangerine, bay leaves, and salt to taste. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Add the cleaned squid tubes and poach for 2 minutes, then add the peeled and deveined tiger shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque.
- Prepare the dressing by mixing 1/4 cup of olive oil, the juice of the tangerine, and the juice of the remaining lemon in a jar or bowl. Add minced garlic, honey Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, and salt to taste. Whisk until well combined and emulsified.
- Combine the octopus, shrimp, and squid with diced celery in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the homemade citrus dressing over the seafood mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the seafood salad to a serving platter or bowl. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired. Let it rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature before serving.
