Prepare the Shellfish
Clean and scrub the oysters, mussels, and clams under cold running water. Remove any beards from the mussels. Set aside.

Cook the Mussels and Clams
In a separate pot, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Add mussels and clams, cover, and steam for 5-7 minutes until they open. Discard any that do not open.
Prepare the Shrimp Cocktail
If using raw shrimp, boil them in salted water for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Chill in ice water and drain.
