Crackerjax

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    Rinse the peel n’ eat shrimp under cold water and set aside. If the oysters are not pre-shucked, use an oyster knife to carefully open them, discarding the top shell and retaining the liquor in the bottom shell. Clean the king crab and dungeness crab under cold water to remove any debris.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the shrimp. Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

  2. 3

    Prepare the Crabs

    If necessary, steam or boil the king crab and dungeness crab for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly. Crack open the crab legs and claws to make it easier to eat.

Serving

  1. 4

    Assemble the Platter

    On a large serving platter, arrange the cooked shrimp, steamed king crab, dungeness crab, and freshly shucked west coast oysters. Place the crackerjax around the seafood as a crunchy accompaniment.

  2. 5

    Enjoy

    Serve the seafood platter with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy this seafood feast with friends and family.
