My boys b'day party tomorrow so I'm gonna put a few crays out. Wondering how the rest of you display them when you have guests etc? All are already boiled so will be eaten cold. Normally I just cut the tail in half and whack it on a plate with some lettuce etc but this time I wouldn't mind making it look a little fancier? Any ideas?

Cut the meat out of the tail from the underside and cut into cubes. Use the tail a a bowl for the meat . Place the head on a plate with the tail upside down behind it. Plenty of iceberg lettuce around it and whatever sauce to dip it in. Use a fork to grab a bit of meat, dip it in the sauce then wrap it in a bit of lettuce. Only the platter and the sauce bowl to wash at the end.

Cut them in half long ways. I always do them this way, it looks good and makes them very easy to clean. Pull all the meat out of the tail and slice up, get all the meat out of the head and under the gills, clean out the shell and then place the meat back in the shell. Serve on a nice large platter dish on bed of lettuce and your choice of sauce in the middle. If you want rip off the legs and scatter them around too, but we usually just let the guest's do that. have a pair of nut crackers for those who use them as well
