CLAM BAKE
INGREDIENTS
4 6 ounces fresh or frozen lobster tails
1 pound littleneck clams
1 pound mussels
1 cup coarse salt
1 pound cooked smoked chorizo sausage, sliced 1/2 inch thick (optional)
1 pound small round red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 ears fresh corn, husks and silks removed
1/2 cup butter, melted
DIRECTIONS
1. Thaw lobster tails, if frozen. Set aside. Scrub live clams and mussels under
cold running water. Using your fingers, pull out the beards from the mussels
that are visible between the shells. In a large pot combine 4 quarts cold
water and 1/3 cup of the coarse salt. Add clams and mussels; soak for 15
minutes. Drain and rinse, discarding water. Repeat twice more.
2. Place clams and mussels in the bottom of a 13x9x3-inch disposable foil pan.
Top with chorizo (if desired), potatoes, and corn. Place lobster tails on top.
Cover pan with foil; seal tightly.
3. For a charcoal grill, place foil pan on the rack of an uncovered grill directly
over medium coals. Grill for 20 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
(For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place foil pan on the
grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as directed.)
4. Transfer clam mixture to a serving platter, reserving cooking liquid. Discard
any unopened clams and mussels. Serve seafood and vegetables with butter
and cooking liquid
