Shellfish and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shellfish

    In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, king crab legs, clams, and mussels. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat all the shellfish evenly.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl and let the shellfish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shellfish

    Preheat a grill or smoker to medium-high heat. Place the marinated shellfish on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and the clams and mussels open up.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tower

    On a large platter or serving dish, begin stacking the shellfish in a visually appealing manner, starting with the largest items (like crab legs) at the bottom and layering with shrimp, clams, and mussels. Garnish with fresh parsley.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
