Method
Preparation
Prepare the Lobster Tails
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and boil for about 8-10 minutes until they are bright red and cooked through. Remove from water and let cool before cutting them in half lengthwise.
Cook the Jumbo Shrimp
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the jumbo shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let cool before peeling.
Prepare the Crab Legs
If using pre-cooked crab legs, simply thaw them in the refrigerator. If they are raw, steam them for about 5-7 minutes until they are cooked through.
Shuck the Oysters
Carefully shuck the oysters and place them on a platter with their juices intact.
Assemble the Tower
On a large serving platter or tower, arrange the lobster tails, crab legs, shrimp, and oysters. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with cocktail sauce and hot sauce on the side.
