How to Make Stovetop Clambake

Step-by-Step

Add to large pot, beer, chicken stock, shallots, garlic, thyme, bay leaves and old bay seasoning. Bring to a boil.
When mixture starts to boil, add potatoes and sausages. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until potatoes start to soften slightly, about 10 minutes.
Add corn, clams, mussels, shrimp and lemon halves. Cover and let steam until clams and mussels have opened and shrimp start to curl, turn pink and are just cooked through...about 5-10 minutes.
With slotted spoon, remove all to serving platter. Finish with lemon wedges and seafood sauce.
