KITCHEN CLAMBAKE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds kielbasa
3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 large onions)
2 cups chopped leeks, well cleaned (2 leeks, white parts only)
1/4 cup good olive oil
1 1/2 pounds small potatoes (red or white)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
2 dozen steamer clams, scrubbed
2 pounds mussels, cleaned and debearded
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, in the shell
3 (1 1/2 pound) lobsters
2 cups good dry white wine

Steps:

  • Slice the kielbasa diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. Set aside. Saute the onions and leeks in the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed 16 to 20 quart stockpot over medium heat for 15 minutes, until the onions start to brown.
  • Layer the ingredients on top of the onions in the stockpot in this order: first the potatoes, salt, and pepper; then the kielbasa, little neck clams, steamer clams, mussels, shrimp, and lobsters. Pour in the white wine. Cover the pot tightly and cook over medium-high heat until steam just begins to escape from the lid, about 15 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and cook another 15 minutes. The clambake should be done. Test to be sure the potatoes are tender, the lobsters are cooked, and the clams and mussels are open. Remove the lobsters to a wooden board, cut them up, and crack the claws. With large slotted spoons, remove the seafood, potatoes, and sausages to a large bowl and top with the lobsters. Season the broth in the pot to taste, and ladle over the seafood, being very careful to avoid any sand in the bottom.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
1/4 cup water
6 garlic cloves
2 large shallots, quartered, root ends left intact
1 1/2 pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
6 ears corn, shucked and halved
60 littleneck clams, scrubbed
2 lemons, quartered
1 pound shell-on extra-jumbo shrimp (16 to 20)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, bring wine and 1/4 cup water to a boil. Add garlic, shallots, potatoes, and red-pepper flakes, if using; cover and cook 8 minutes. Add corn, clams, and lemons; cover and cook until clams have opened, 10 to 12 minutes. Add shrimp in a single layer, cover, turn off heat, and let sit until shrimp are opaque throughout, about 3 minutes.
  • With tongs or a spider, transfer shellfish and vegetables to a serving platter, setting lemons aside for serving; discard any unopened clams. Strain broth through a sieve into a bowl, and whisk in butter, parsley, and oregano. Scrape flesh from half the lemons into broth, discarding skins. Serve shellfish and vegetables with remaining lemons and broth for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the seafood, or it will become tough.
  • Add the vegetables last, so they don't overcook.
  • Use a large pot with a tight-fitting lid to ensure the seafood cooks evenly.
  • Serve the clambake with melted butter, lemon wedges, and crusty bread.

Conclusion:

A stovetop clambake is a delicious and easy way to enjoy seafood. It's a great meal for a summer party or a casual weeknight dinner. With a little planning, you can have a delicious clambake on the table in no time.
