1
Prepare the Lobster Tail
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Cut the lobster tail down the center and brush with olive oil. Grill for 5-7 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
2
Cook the Shrimp
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and chill in ice water.
3
Prepare the Crab
Carefully break the crab in half to reveal the meat. Chill in the refrigerator until serving.
4
Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the horseradish and ketchup to create the classic red sauce. Adjust seasoning with lemon juice if desired.
5
Assemble the Tower
On a large platter, arrange the crab, shrimp, and lobster tail. Serve with market mustard, horseradish red sauce, and lemon wedges on the side.
