Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    Start by cleaning and preparing all seafood. Rinse the shrimp, oysters, and calamari under cold water. For the oysters, you may want to scrub the shells with a brush to remove any dirt.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Boil the Crab Legs and Lobster

    In the same pot, add the crab legs and lobster tails. Boil for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Calamari

    In a separate pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Fry the calamari for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Arrange the Platter

    On a large serving platter, arrange the shrimp, oysters, crab legs, lobster tails, and fried calamari. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
