Instructions

1- Prep the Ingredients:

Prepare all the seafood, meat, and vegetables by thoroughly washing and cutting them as needed. Set everything aside.

2- Boil the Potatoes and Corn:

In a large pot, fill it halfway with water and bring to a rolling boil. Add the quartered potatoes and corn halves. Boil for about 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Remove them from the pot and set aside.

3- Cook the Eggs:

Add the eggs to the same pot of boiling water. Boil for about 10 minutes. Remove, cool in ice water, peel, and set aside.

4- Steam the Crab Legs and Shrimp:

Using a steamer basket, steam the crab legs over boiling water for about 5-7 minutes or until they are heated through.
Add the shrimp to the steamer basket for the last 3-4 minutes of steaming until they are opaque and cooked through.

5- Prepare the Steak:

In a hot skillet or grill pan, add the steak cubes. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.

6- Final Assembly:

In a large serving platter, arrange the crab legs, shrimp, steak, potatoes, corn, and boiled eggs.
Drizzle the melted butter over the seafood and vegetables. Sprinkle with minced garlic and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
