Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 pieces Sea scallops
• 2 clusters Cooked crab legs
• 1 pound Mussels, cleaned
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup White wine or water (optional, for steaming mussels)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the garlic butter. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Set aside to keep warm.

Step 2

Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the scallops and shrimp, then season with half the salt and pepper.

Step 3

Cook the scallops first by searing them in the preheated skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and opaque in the center. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Prepare the mussels by placing them in a large pot with a lid. Add the white wine or water (if using), cover, and steam over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed.

Step 6

Warm the cooked crab legs by steaming them briefly in a large pot or heating them in a low oven, covered with foil, for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Assemble the platter by arranging the cooked shrimp, scallops, crab legs, and mussels onto a large serving dish. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately with the garlic butter as a dipping sauce.

Step 8

Pair with your favorite bread or a crisp salad to complete the meal.
