Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    Rinse the fresh oysters under cold water, scrub the shells, and place them in a bowl. Peel and devein the jumbo shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Boil the lobster tails in salted water for 8-10 minutes, until they turn bright red. Once cooked, remove the meat from the shells and cut into large chunks. Crack the king crab legs and remove the meat.

Assembly

  1. 2

    Build the Skyscraper

    In a large platter, layer the ice as the base. Begin stacking the seafood starting with the oysters, followed by the shrimp, then the lobster tail pieces, and finally the king crab meat. Ensure each layer is visible and aesthetically pleasing.

Serving

  1. 3

    Add Dipping Sauces and Garnishes

    Pour the cocktail sauce and mignonette sauce into small bowls and place them around the seafood. Arrange the lemon wedges on the platter for garnish. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the entire assembly for a touch of color.
