New England Clam Bake Recipe You Shouldn’t Miss

A traditional method of cooking seafood, the New England clam bake is a dish that comes packed with lobster, clams, shrimp, potatoes, corn, and mussels.

You pretty much just toss all of the ingredients in a pot. Then steam all the ingredients at once, allowing the ingredients to absorb all the flavors in the pot.

 Ingredients:

• 1 cup cold water
• 2 cups dry white wine
• 2 1/2 tbsp. Old Bay seasoning
• 1 tsp. coarse sea salt
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 2 lb. potatoes, halved
• 2 lobsters
• 2 dozen Manila clams
• 4 ears fresh corn, cut into four
• small bunch of tarragon or parsley, chopped
• 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
• crusty bread
• 6 lemons, cut into wedges

Instructions:

1. Add the water, wine, Old Bay, garlic, and salt into a huge stockpot and bring it to a boil.
2. Add the onion and potatoes into the pot first, cover, then cook on medium/high heat for 15 minutes.
3. After that, add the lobsters over the potatoes. Then cover the pot and cook for 3 minutes.
4. Next, toss in the clams and corn and continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes. You’ll know the clams are done when they’ve opened.
5. Remove the pot from the heat and drain.
6. Empty the contents of the pot onto a table lined with newspaper or butcher paper, then to a large platter.
7. Sprinkle everything with fresh herbs and serve with melted butter, lemon wedges, and toasted bread of your choice.
8. Enjoy!
