Preparation

Step 1

Louis Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, chili sauce, parsley, tarragon, shallot, salt and pepper to taste. Add lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.

Just before serving, place crab meat, shrimp or lobster in a medium bowl. Pout in sauce; toss gently with a rubber spatula or your hands, taking care not to break up the lumps of crab or lobster.

Arrange greens on a large chilled platter; spoon seafood mixture into the center. Arrange your choice of optional garnishes around the edges.
