Method
Seafood Prep
Note: Place your seafood order at least three days in advance and schedule delivery to arrive 72 hours before service.
Lobster tails: Steam lobster tails 4-6 minutes until the meat is opaque, then remove the meat from the shells and chill on a platter.
Large shrimp: Pat dry, season lightly with salt, and sauté in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes until pink and just cooked.
Snow crab legs: Steam or boil for 5-7 minutes until heated through; crack shells gently for easier access.
Raw oysters: Shuck oysters just before serving and arrange on a bed of crushed ice.
Sauces & Garnishes
Drawn butter: Melt butter in a small saucepan until just melted; keep warm and ready for dipping.
Cocktail sauce: Present 1/2 cup cocktail sauce in a small bowl for dipping.
Lemon wedges: Cut lemons into wedges and arrange around the tower for guests to squeeze over the seafood.
Fresh dill: Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh dill and scatter around the platter for aroma.
Crushed ice: Spread a bed of 4 cups crushed ice on the serving board to keep the seafood chilled.
