Seafood Platter Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
Prepare the Seafood
Rinse the colossal shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. If using stone crabs, ensure they are cleaned and cracked for easy access to the meat.
Cook the Lobster Tails
Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the lobster tails and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the shells turn bright red and the meat is opaque. Remove from water, let cool slightly, then slice in half lengthwise.
Arrange the Seafood Platter
On a large serving platter, arrange the colossal shrimp, jumbo crabmeat, lobster tails, and stone crabs if using. Add small bowls of crab bisque, cocktail sauce, and lemon wedges on the side.
Season and Serve
Sprinkle Old Bay seasoning over the seafood and serve immediately with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce.
