1
Prepare the Shellfish
Rinse the oysters, mussels, and clams under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Use a brush to scrub the shells if necessary.
2
Cook the Mussels and Clams
In a large pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the mussels and clams. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the shells open. Discard any that do not open.
3
Prepare the Shrimp
In a pot of boiling water, cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove from heat, drain, and place into an ice bath to stop the cooking.
4
Arrange the Plate
On a large platter, arrange the oysters, steamed mussels, clams, and cooked shrimp. Serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
5
Garnish
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the seafood arrangement for a touch of color and flavor.
