The boiling time for seafood depends on the type and size of the seafood you are cooking. Here are some general guidelines: Shrimp: Small to medium-sized shrimp (peeled and deveined) take about 2-3 minutes to cook, while larger shrimp can take up to 5 minutes. Lobster: Boil a 1 1/2-pound lobster for about 15 minutes. Crab: Boil a whole crab for 10-20 minutes, depending on its size. For crab legs or claws, 3-5 minutes is usually sufficient. Mussels and clams: Steam them for 5-7 minutes until they open, or boil them for 3-5 minutes until their shells open. Octopus and squid: Simmer them for about 30-45 minutes until they are tender. It's important not to overcook seafood, as this can make it tough and rubbery. Always keep an eye on the cooking process and use a timer if necessary.
