Method

Seafood Preparation

1

Poach the Shrimp

In a pot of boiling salted water, add the shrimp and poach for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.

2

Cook the Mussels

In a separate pot, add a cup of water and bring to a boil. Add the cleaned mussels, cover, and steam for 5-7 minutes or until they open. Discard any that do not open.

3

Prepare the Lobster

If using a whole lobster, cook it in salted boiling water for 12-15 minutes. Once cooked, remove from water, cool, and shell the meat. Cut into bite-sized pieces.

4

Slice the Fish

Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon and tuna into thin sashimi-style pieces.

5

Prepare the Oysters and Clams

Make sure the oysters and clams are thoroughly cleaned. Arrange on a platter with the shells intact.

Sauce Preparation

6

Make Horseradish Aioli

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, horseradish, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

7

Prepare Mignonette

In another bowl, combine finely chopped shallots, red wine vinegar, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well and set aside.
