Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and clean the clams thoroughly. Peel and devein the shrimp, and set aside. Rinse the scallops and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the potatoes, celery, and red bell pepper; chop the onion. Set all the vegetables aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Base

    In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the diced potatoes, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

  3. 5

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the clam juice and water, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  4. 6

    Add Seafood

    Gently add the clams, shrimp, and scallops to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and add Old Bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the seafood is cooked through and the clams have opened.

  5. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
