Seafood

12 pieces Fresh Oysters

1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)

1 pound King Crab Legs

8 ounces Smoked Salmon

1 pound Scallops

Accompaniments

1 cup Cocktail Sauce

2 pieces Lemon Wedges

1 bunch Fresh Herbs (parsley, dill, etc.)

1 tbs Horseradish

to taste Sea Salt

Method

Preparation

Prepare the Oysters

Shuck the oysters carefully, making sure to keep the liquid inside the shell. Place them on a bed of crushed ice on a large platter.

Cook the Shrimp and Scallops

In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque, then remove and chill. Sear the scallops in a hot pan with a little olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then chill.

Prepare the Crab Legs

If using precooked crab legs, simply thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. If raw, steam them for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through.

Arrange the Seafood

On the platter with the oysters, arrange the shrimp, scallops, crab legs, and smoked salmon artistically. Add lemon wedges and fresh herbs for garnish.

Serve with Accompaniments

Place the cocktail sauce and horseradish on the side for dipping. Sprinkle sea salt over the seafood as desired.
