This appetizer is all about pristine seafood—our chef-prepared Lobster Salad, sweet jumbo lump crabmeat, and cocktail shrimp, all mingling in perfect harmony. Everything is already cooked, so all that’s left to do is assemble (which only takes 10 minutes!). If you’d like, add lemon wedges for a little extra brightness.
