The Lobster Trap Clam Bake Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Clean all seafood thoroughly. Rinse the mussels and clams under cold water and remove any beards. Cut the corn into halves if desired. Halve the new potatoes.

2. 2

   Boil the Potatoes and Corn

   Fill a large pot with water and add salt. Bring to a boil, then add the new potatoes. Cook for about 10 minutes, then add the corn on the cob and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until both are tender.

3. 3

   Add Seafood

   Drain the potatoes and corn, then add them back to the pot. Add the lobster, shrimp, mussels, and clams to the pot along with Old Bay seasoning, butter, and lemon juice. Cover the pot and steam for about 10-15 minutes, or until the lobster is cooked through and the shells of the mussels and clams have opened.

4. 4

   Serve

   Remove the pot from the heat. Discard any unopened clams or mussels. Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
