How to Make Stovetop Clam Bake
- In a large pot or stockpot, combine 12 oz (355ml) beer, 1 cup (240ml) chicken stock, 2 large shallots (finely chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 2 sprigs fresh thyme, 2 bay leaves, and 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, add 1 lb (450g) small red potatoes (halved) and 1 lb (450g) Italian sausage (sliced).
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are slightly softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add 1 lb (450g) fresh corn on the cob (cut into 2-inch pieces), 1.5 lbs (680g) littleneck clams (scrubbed), 1 lb (450g) mussels (cleaned), 1 lb (450g) shrimp (peeled and deveined), and 2 lemons (cut into wedges).
- Cover and steam until clams and mussels have opened and shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5-10 minutes. Discard any clams or mussels that do not open.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the seafood, sausage, and vegetables from the pot and transfer them to a large serving dish or platter.
- Garnish with 1/4 cup (1/4 cup) chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite seafood sauce.
