Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Small red potatoes
- 12 ounces Smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pounds Fresh clams, scrubbed
- 1 pound Fresh mussels, scrubbed and de-bearded
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 ears Ears of corn, shucked and cut into thirds
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 whole Lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
In a large stockpot, combine the water, dry white wine, Old Bay seasoning, and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the potatoes to the pot and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes cook for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, add the sausage slices and corn to the pot. Cover the pot again and cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, then carefully add the clams and mussels. Ensure they are placed at the bottom of the pot to steam well. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the clams and mussels have opened. Discard any that do not open.
Add the shrimp to the pot and cover. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.
Carefully transfer the cooked seafood, vegetables, and sausage to a large serving platter or bowl using a slotted spoon.
Ladle some of the cooking broth over the seafood mixture for extra flavor, and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing, and enjoy with crusty bread or a side salad.
