Step 1

Bring a large pot filled with water to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add shrimp to saucepan. Cover pan and remove from heat. Let the shrimp poach until they turn pink and opaque, about 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.

Step 2

In large bowl, whisk extra virgin olive oil, reserved oil from octopus and vinegar together until combined. Add cooked shrimp, octopus, tomatoes, bell peppers, olives and onion, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Serve with baguette slices. Note: You can substitute the octopus with squid and add your favorite canned seafood, like GOYA® <a href="https://www.goya.com/en/products/mussels-in-pickled-sauce/">Mussels in Pickled Sauce</a>.
