Directions
Line the bottom of a really large pot (we used the lobster pot nosotros got equally a marriage ceremony present) amongst corn stalks. Top amongst onions, sausage potatoes, fennel, as well as bay leaves. Add the stock as well as plenty H2O to only clear the food. Top amongst a layer of corn, as well as so shrimp as well as so the clams. Place on a really hot grill as well as cook, covered, for 20-30 minutes.
Cook until the clams are fully opened.
Use slotted spoons and/or a pasta scoop to fish the nutrient out. Serve amongst crusty bread, butter, as well as Old Bay.

My thoughts:
While non technically a clambake, this is a fun, interactive dinner that is incredibly tardily to make. H5N1 dyad of years agone I read an article close clambakes that had around practiced tips on layering the nutrient as well as although I wasn't really interested inwards what they lay inwards the pot e'er since I've wanted to accept 1 inwards our ain backyard. While I don't accept a beach or seaweed or rocks, I do accept a grill as well as it worked really well.H5N1 local chain had Chesapeake Bay clams on sale along amongst around tasty saltwater shrimp (they are brilliant pinkish fifty-fifty prior to cooking) so it seemed fated that we'd accept seafood when our delightful friend Danielle came to dinner.
I used turkey sausage which is lower inwards fatty than most sausage (by a lot!) as well as thence did non brand everything unappetizing greasy which around times occurs when sausage is boiled amongst other foods. I equally good cutting upwardly the corn as well as used tiny potatoes so they would gear upwardly apace as well as hold upwardly done at the same fourth dimension equally the clams.
I liked to lay a footling butter on the corn as well as sprinkle the shrimp amongst Old Bay.
