Preparation
Prepare the Lobster
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for 8-10 minutes until bright red and cooked through. Remove and let cool, then chill in the refrigerator.
Prepare the King Crab
If using frozen king crab legs, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. If pre-cooked, simply chill in the refrigerator before serving.
Prepare the Oysters
Shuck the oysters and clean them thoroughly. Keep them on ice until ready to serve.
Prepare the Cocktail Shrimp
Boil shrimp in salted water for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and place in an ice bath to stop cooking. Chill in the refrigerator.
Plate the Tower
On a large serving platter, arrange the chilled lobster tails, king crab legs, oysters, and cocktail shrimp. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley. Serve with cocktail sauce on the side.
