Ingredients

8 pieces of aluminum foil (24 by 24)
8 pieces of cheesecloth (12 by 12)
8 dozen steamer clams, scrubbed
1 pound new potatoes, quartered and blanched
4 ears of fresh sweet corn, cut into fourths and blanched
4 medium yellow onions, quartered
Creole seasoning, recipe follows
8 all-beef hot dogs
8 breakfast spicy pork sausage links
2 bottles beer
1 pound butter, melted
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

Preheat the grill over low heat. For the Foil Pouches: Place the pieces of foil on a flat surface. Place a piece of cheesecloth over the piece of foil. Place a dozen of the clams over each piece of cheesecloth. Continue layering with the potatoes, corn, onions, hot dogs and sausage links. Season with Creole seasoning. Pour some of the beer into each pouch. Wrap each pouch up tightly and place on the grill. Cook the pouches for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the clams open up. Discard any shells that do not open. Place each pouch on a serving plate and with a sharp knife, slice the pouch open. Drizzle each pouch with the melted butter and garnish with parsley.

Killer recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was the first time I tried a clam bake. I thought I would give it a shot for our 4th of July dinner. Not only was it... super easy it was also out of this world. I did however sub out the dogs for some sausages which were made with wine and cheese from Albertson's (west coast market). Everything else I did to a T. We had leftovers so I took them to a concert by the sea the next day. Everyone kept looking to see what we were feasting on. Our new 4th of July dinner for years to come.Read more

excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a terrific recipe. I have made this several times. Before I had a grill, I put all the ingredients in a large... turkey bag in the oven. I have used different kinds of clams and have varied ingredients from time to time with excellent results. Fresh corn cob holds up much better than frozen corn cobs. Spicy and terrific with cold beer or cold white wine.Read more
