Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dipping Sauces: Combine each set of dipping sauce ingredients in separate bowls. Mix well and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Prepare the Seafood: Shuck the oysters (if not already shucked). Steam the mussels until they open, then chill. If desired, grill or broil shrimp or lobster tail until cooked through. Chill all seafood.
  3. Assemble the Tower: Cover the base of your seafood tower (or platter) with cracked ice.
  4. Arrange the Seafood: Artfully arrange the oysters, shrimp, mussels, crab legs, and lobster tail (if using) on the ice-filled tower. Prioritize height, balance and visual appeal.
  5. Garnish & Serve: Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley/dill sprigs. Place the dipping sauce bowls around the base of the tower. Serve immediately.
