1
Cook the Lobster and Shrimp
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster claws and tails. Boil for about 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Remove and let cool. In the same pot, add the jumbo shrimp and boil for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and let cool.
2
Prepare the Oysters
Shuck the oysters and place them on a serving platter. Keep them on ice to ensure they stay fresh and chilled.
3
Prepare the Crab
In a bowl, gently fluff the lump blue crab meat to remove any shells and place it in a serving dish.

4
Assemble the Seafood Tower
On a large platter or tiered serving stand, arrange the lobster claws, lobster tails, jumbo shrimp, and oysters artistically. In the center, place the bowl of lump blue crab.
5
Add Dipping Sauces
Place small bowls of cocktail sauce, garlic butter, and lemon wedges around the seafood tower for dipping and garnishing.
