Ingredients

32 shell clams (littlenecks or cherrystones)
32 uncooked medium shrimp in shells (about 1 1/4 lb), thawed if frozen
32 sea scallops (about 2 1/2 lb)
4 ears fresh sweet corn, husks removed, cleaned, cut into fourths
32 large cherry tomatoes
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 tespoons grated lemon peel
2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon freeze-dried chives
Fresh chive stems or chopped fresh chives, if desired

Steps:

Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 8 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray.
Place 4 clams, shrimp and scallops in center of each sheet; top each with 2 pieces of corn and 4 tomatoes. In small bowl, mix butter ingredients. Drizzle about 2 teaspoons butter over seafood and vegetables in each packet.
Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 to 20 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after 10 minutes, or until clam shells have opened, shrimp are pink, and scallops are white and opaque. (Cooking time may vary depending on ingredients selected) Discard any clams that don't open.
To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape. Top with chives.

If you can't find clams, use mussels. If someone doesn't care for clams, double up on the shrimp and/or scallops. Baking times may vary according to the ingredients you select.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon grated fresh lemon peel
32 clams in shell, scrubbed
32 uncooked shrimp, deveined but with shells
32 sea scallops
8 ears corn on the cob, cut into quarters
32 large cherry tomatoes
8 12x12-inch squares aluminum foil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. Mix the butter with lemon peel in a bowl.
Spread out the sheets of foil onto a flat work surface, and place 4 clams, 4 shrimp, 4 scallops, 4 pieces of corn on the cob, and 4 cherry tomatoes in the center of each piece of foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon-butter mixture over the seafood and vegetables. Bring two opposite ends of a foil sheet together and fold over several times to seal. Leave room for steam. Fold the remaining ends over several times to seal the packet completely.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill, cover the grill, and bake until the clams are open and the shrimp are pink and opaque, 15 to 20 minutes (open a packet a little to take a peek).
To serve, place a foil packet on a plate, cut a diagonal X through the foil, and peel back the foil. Garnish each packet with about 1/2 teaspoon of chives.
