Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    Thaw the snow crab legs and lobster tail if they are frozen. Rinse the clams and shrimp under cold water to clean them.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a large pot, fill with enough water to cover the seafood. Add salt and bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Snow Crab Legs and Lobster Tail

    Once the water is boiling, add the snow crab legs and lobster tail to the pot. Boil for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Add the Clams

    Next, add the clams to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the clams have opened.

  5. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Finally, add the shrimp to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove all seafood from the pot and serve immediately on a large platter with melted butter and lemon wedges on the side.
