Steamers sound kinda good. You have to eat them right out of the pot, though. Overcooking them is no good. I'm sure this would fit right in. I nomally do seafood cocktail sauce using freshly grated horseradish, a little commercial "seafood cocktail sauce" then add hot sauce of choice. It's good on oysters, or the raw shellfish of your choice. I can bring some steamers. I still havn't finalized my offerings for this party yet.
