Seafood

Calamari Salad

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    Rinse the oysters and clams under cold water. Place the oysters on a bed of ice and shuck them just before serving. Boil the lobster in salted water for about 15 minutes, then cool it under cold running water before cracking it open. Boil the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes until pink, then chill.

  2. 2

    Make the Calamari Salad

    Clean the calamari and cut into rings. In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add the calamari and cook for 2-3 minutes until opaque. Remove from heat, add lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Let it cool.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Seafood Tower

    On a large platter or tiered serving dish, arrange the oysters, clams, lobster, jumbo shrimp, crab claws, and calamari salad. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with cocktail sauce or a mignonette sauce if desired.
