Clambake Recipe
What is a clambake? Clambake is an all-American seafood dish for summer, just like shrimp boil, seafood boil, crawfish boil, and Old Bay shrimp. A traditional clambake is a major party at the beach that involves a bonfire, heated rocks, seaweed and a large wet tarpaulin to steam the ingredients. Today, I am sharing an easy clambake recipe with you. It’s no-fuss, quick and fast, using a skillet and cooked on a stove top. You can turn my recipe into a summer backyard clambake by cooking this dish on a gas grill.
Ingredients For Clambake
My recipe calls for simple and easy-to-get ingredients:
Shrimp Clams Mussels Corns Potatoes Lobster. It’s optional but you can use lobster and make the recipe into clam and lobster bake. Beer. You can skip beer and substitute it with water.
Other optional ingredients are smoked sausages and seaweed. My recipe is purely shellfish. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients.
