Clambake
- 4 lobsters
- 5 pounds seaweed
- 12 new potatoes
- 4 ears corn
- 2 kielbasa sausages, halved lengthwise
- 2 dozen littleneck clams
- 2 dozen oysters
- Lemon wedges, for garnish
- Melted butter, for dipping
- Preheat your grill until its fairly hot.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Parboil the lobsters for just 3 minutes and then remove.
- To start the outdoor clambake, spread a thick layer of seaweed directly on the hot grill rack.
- The potatoes and corn go down first since they will take the longest to cook.
- Arrange the potatoes and corn on the seaweed in a single layer, then cover them with more seaweed.
- Put the lobsters on top, along with the kielbasa; cover with more seaweed.
- Spread the clams on top and cover with another layer of seaweed.
- Finally, set the oysters on the top, and blanket them with a thick layer of seaweed.
- As the seafood cooks, the juices will drip down and flavor the corn and potatoes.
- Cover the entire bake with a burlap bag that has been soaked in water; it traps in the seaweed steam and bakes the food.
- Cover the grill.
- Cook until the clams open and the lobsters are bright red, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Keep a bucket of water handy and check the burlap periodically to make sure it stays wet.
- Serve with lemon wedges and melted butter.
