Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Bed

    Fill a large platter or seafood tower with crushed ice to create an ice bed.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Seafood

    Thoroughly clean the oysters and mussels under cold running water. Remove any beards from the mussels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp and Mussels

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and mussels, cooking for about 3-5 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and mussels have opened. Drain and cool under cold water.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Snow Crab

    If not pre-cooked, steam or boil the snow crab legs until heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Platter

    Arrange the oysters, shrimp, snow crab, and mussels artistically on the ice bed. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces.
