1
Prepare the Shellfish
Start by cooking the lobster. Boil a large pot of salted water and add the lobsters, cooking for about 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove and let cool. For the king crab legs, steam them for about 6-8 minutes until heated through.
2
Prepare the Shrimp
Peel and devein the shrimp. You can poach them in seasoned water for about 2-3 minutes or serve them raw if using high-quality fresh shrimp.
3
Prepare the Oysters and Clams
Rinse the oysters and clams under cold water. Serve raw on the half-shell with lemon wedges.
4
Assemble the Shellfish Tower
On a large platter or tiered stand, arrange the lobster, king crab legs, shrimp, oysters, and clams. Fill the base with crushed ice to keep everything chilled. Garnish with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce on the side.
