Louis Sauce:
2 pounds lump crab meat, cooked, peeled and de-veined shrimp or shelled lobster meat
1 cup Louis Sauce
6 cups washed and dried mesclun salad greens or other farm stand lettuces such as oak leaf, butt crunch, watercress and arugula, in any combination
Sliced cucumber, for optional garnish
Tomatoes wedges or halved cherry tomatoes, for optional garnish
Sliced hard cooked eggs, for optional garnish
Asparagus, steamed and chilled for optional garnish
3/4 cup sour cream, or half mayonnaise and half sour cream
1/4 cup Heinz chili sauce
2-3 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tsp chopped tarragon
1 tsp minced shallot or green onion
1/4 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp lemon or lime juice or to taste

Steps:

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.
