Steps:

• For the seafood: Place the octopus in a pressure cooker and cover with water by 4 inches. Add the salt, 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 sprigs thyme and 1 clove garlic. Lock the lid according to the manufacturer's instructions and pressure cook for 40 minutes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for releasing the pressure. Drain, let cool and slice 1-inch thick.
• Meanwhile, place the remaining 3 cups extra-virgin olive oil in 8-quart saucepot with the lemon peels, remaining 3 sprigs thyme and 1 garlic clove. Heat to 190 degrees F. Poach the shrimp in the oil until cooked through, about 3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Poach the calamari in the oil until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to another bowl and allow the shrimp and calamari to cool in the fridge.
• For the pickled chiles: Bring the vinegar to a boil in a saucepot with the peppercorns and bay leaf. Turn off the heat and let cool. Pour over the chiles in a bowl and allow to pickle for 20 minutes.
• For the tostadas: Clip a deep-frying thermometer to a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Heat the vegetable oil to 375 degrees F. Fry tostadas until golden, 1 to 2 minutes each. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to cool.
• For plating: Add all the chilled seafood, chiles, cucumber, radish, lime juice and chopped cilantro in a large bowl and mix together. Place a large scoop of seafood on a tostada, then garnish with cilantro leaves and drizzle with the oil. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 7 more tostadas.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook, turning halfway through, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, add the vegetable oil, black beans, a pinch of salt and pepper and some hot sauce. Heat until warmed through, mashing the beans with a fork.
• On a baking sheet, layer: 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans and 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted completely and the edges of the tostadas are beginning to turn golden, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg and cook until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
• To serve, transfer the tostada to a plate, top with the fried egg, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream, a sprinkle of the remaining cheese and the cilantro. Place the bacon on the side and enjoy.

Steps:

• Description
• Spring is custom-made for this dish of stuffed cornbread, creamy lemon cayenne sauce, tomato, shrimp, avocado, and corn.
• Pairing
• The light, citrus flavors in Blue Moon® Spring Blonde Wheat Ale lend a delightful splash of sunshine to seafood dishes.
• Cut corn bread into 2" x 3" rectangles and cut each rectangle in half. Put on a baking dish and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the sauce, saute onion in a thin layer of oil until translucent. Add lemon juice, corn, tomatoes, and cayenne. Immediately add heavy cream, reduce the volume by half until sauce is thick. Add shrimp and simmer until shrimp are fully cooked.
• Warm corn bread in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Put in four bowls and top with shrimp mix, then top with more corn bread and more shrimp mix.
• Garnish with lemon slices, parsley and avocado slices.

Steps:

• Brush some vegetable oil on grill grates or a grill pan and heat the grill over medium-high heat.
• Brush the tilapia with the olive oil and sprinkle with the seafood seasoning, cumin and oregano. Grill the tilapia for a few minutes on each side until cooked through.
• Fill a deep, heavy fry pan or cast-iron skillet halfway with vegetable oil. Place over medium-high heat and bring the oil to 350 degrees F. Cut 8 rounds out of the corn tortillas. Fry the tortilla rounds in batches until crisp, and then drain on paper towels.
• In a food processor, combine the avocado, sour cream and heavy cream. Puree until smooth. Add more heavy cream if needed to make a creamy but not too thin sauce.
• Transfer the avocado to a bowl and stir in the cilantro and onions. Season with salt.
• In a bowl, toss the mango with the sugar and a pinch of salt.
• To serve, top each tortilla with some tilapia, top with avocado sauce and then mango. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• Combine the beer and vinegar with 1 cup of water in a very large pot. Add a steamer insert and bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Add the crabs and 1/4 cup of the Old Bay and cook, covered, until the crabs are bright red, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size. Transfer the crabs to a large platter and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Old Bay.
• Serve the hot crabs with the Spicy Butter and lemon wedges on the side.
• Make the butter while the crabs cook: combine the butter, Old Bay, cayenne and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Melt the butter, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Pour the melted butter into a small ramekin, leaving the milk solids in the saucepan.

Steps:

• For the octopus: Bring 12 quarts of salted water and the wine to a boil. Add the basil, thyme, peppercorns, chiles, cloves, star anise and octopuses. Boil for 20 minutes.
• Shock the octopuses in an ice water bath. Return to the boiling liquid for 15 minutes. Shock again. Peel and chop the octopuses.
• For the vegetables: Mix the tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, bell peppers, cilantro and red onions in a bowl. Dress with lemon juice to taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon some of the vegetables into the bottom of a doubled tostada. Spoon some of the octopus mixture on top.

Steps:

• Put the onion in a bowl and cover with half the lime juice and a good pinch each of sugar and salt. Leave to soften while you get everything else ready.
• Mix together the crabmeat, spring onions and half the chilli. Season with black pepper and set aside. Mash the avocado with the remaining lime juice, garlic and some seasoning. You can leave it quite chunky or mash it until smooth. Stir in the rest of the chilli.
• Bend each tortilla in half and toast in a toaster for 1 min. Put on 2 plates and top with the salad leaves, then mashed avocado. Finish with the crabmeat and drained pickled onion. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

Steps:

• Prepare the Crabmeat
• Put the crabmeat in a bowl. Pick through it with your fingers to remove any cartilage.
• Combine the Ingredients
• Add the oil, mayonnaise, onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime zest and juice to the crabmeat. Using a rubber spatula or spoon, gently fold (or toss) all ingredients until well blended. Season well with salt and pepper.
• Assemble and Serve
• Top each tostada shell with a few slices of avocado, place a generous serving of the crabmeat mixture over it, and garnish with a sprig of cilantro. Serve each with a lime wedge.
