* To cook octopus or squid, place it into boiling water with a little bit salt and pepper and one bay leaf. Cook until the octopus or calamari is tender. Octopus will take longer to cook.
** If you do not want to make the shrimp broth, or only have unpeeled shrimp, use the orange soda. You will need to add this in step two of the recipe.
*** Some cooks use tomato juice from the “Clamato” brand instead of ketchup, or use a combination of the two.
