Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Boil or steam the lobster tails until fully cooked (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat, cool them in an ice bath, and then slice in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Boil the shrimp in salted water for about 3-5 minutes until they turn pink. Remove from heat, cool them in an ice bath, and peel if necessary.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Oysters

    Shuck the oysters and place them on a tray with ice to keep them chilled.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Seafood Tower

    On a large platter or seafood tower, arrange the lobster tails, oysters, shrimp, and crab meat attractively. Serve with mignonette, cocktail sauce, and mustard aioli on the side.
