Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    Thoroughly clean and rinse all seafood. De-shell the prawns and lobster, if necessary. Remove the beards from the mussels. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss the prawns, scallops, and mussels in the mixture and let them marinate for 15-30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Lobster

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lobster for about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Prawns and Scallops

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add some olive oil. Cook the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on each side until pink. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.

  3. 5

    Cook the Mussels

    In a separate pot, add a splash of water and place the mussels inside. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes until they open. Discard any that do not open.

  4. 6

    Prepare King Crab Legs

    Boil or steam the king crab legs for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Plate the Seafood

    On a large platter, arrange the prawns, scallops, mussels, lobster, king crab legs, and smoked salmon. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Enjoy your seafood platter with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or lemon wedges.
