  2. 2

    Arrange the Platter

    On a large serving platter, arrange the shrimp, mussels, calamari, and crab legs artistically. Garnish with lemon wedges and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces such as cocktail sauce or garlic butter.
