ingredients

2 lobster tails, split
1/2 pound clams
1 pound jumbo shrimp
1/2 pound mussels
1/2 pound sea scallops
1 pound spanish chorizo sausage, cut into chunks
4 large red-skin potatoes, quartered
2 ears corn, halved
12 cloves garlic, peeled
4 bottles (8 ounce size) clam juice
2 cups white wine
1/2 cup seafood boiling spice (such as Old Bay)
2 lemons, quartered, for garnish

directions

Parboil potatoes and corn by cooking in boiling water for about 10 minutes.

Place ingredients, except lemon quarters, in large Dutch oven. Place on hot flame and rest lid on top. (Do not close them tightly or the steam inside will build up.)

Heat over high heat for 20 minutes or until seafood is cooked through. Serve with lemons.

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I cooked the sausage and garlic with some wine first then added the wine, clam juice and Old Bay and brought to boil then added seafood. Cooked corn and potatoes separately and added at the end to flavor. Only cooked seafood 15 minutes. everyone loved it! with a few tweeks it's a great recipe. I also added king crab legs, it was a hit!

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Came out rubbery. Next time not on high and not for 20 minutes

    • It says 20 minutes or until done. How long it takes to come to heat will depend on a variety of factors such as how fast your stovetop burners heat up, the kind of pan you use, etc. So only cook it until the seafood is done - if your stovetop heats very fast then it wouldn't take 20 minutes, some may take longer.

    Is the Chorizo uncooked when added?

  4. ChefTexas REVIEW:

    Don't heat on high with the seafood in it - and you definitely won't need 20 minutes. Maybe 10 tops. Keep it on medium heat or your expensive seafood will get rubbery. This has great flavor and is a good recipe just as long as you don't overcook it.

  5. gabe REVIEW:

    Scallops were too spendy so I added extra shrimp. Incredibly good but served more than 4 people for sure. There were 4 of us and we had leftovers.
