Oysters
Shrimp Cocktail
Lump Crab Meat
Method
Oysters
Prepare the Oysters
Rinse the oysters under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Place them on a serving platter with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce for dipping.
Shrimp Cocktail
Cook the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add lemon juice and Old Bay seasoning. Add the jumbo shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Serve the Shrimp
Drain the shrimp, pat them dry, and arrange them on a platter with cocktail sauce for dipping.
Lump Crab Meat
Prepare the Crab Mixture
In a mixing bowl, gently combine lump crab meat, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Serve the Crab
Transfer the crab mixture to a serving bowl and serve alongside crackers or toast points.
