3/4 lb medium shrimp, shelled, deveined
1/2 lb cooked crab meat
3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

A favorite on Atkins cruises. If you're not fond of squid, substitute an
equal amount of shrimp.

1. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil over high heat in a large saucepot with a
cover. Add mussels; cook 10 minutes. Remove mussels from their shells and
transfer to a large bowl. Discard any unopened mussels.

2. Bring a quart of lightly salted water to a boil. Add octopus; cook 45
seconds, just until opaque. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to bowl
with mussels. Cook shrimp 2 to 3 minutes; just until cooked through. Remove
with a slotted spoon and add to bowl. Stir in crab.

3. Add oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper to seafood. Mix until
thoroughly combined. Refrigerate 2 hours for flavors to develop.

4. To serve, divide lettuce leaves on 4 plates. Mound seafood salad over
lettuce; sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon slices.
