Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Small red potatoes
• 12 ounces Smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
• 4 cups Water
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 pounds Fresh clams, scrubbed
• 1 pound Fresh mussels, scrubbed and de-bearded
• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 ears Ears of corn, shucked and cut into thirds
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 whole Lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a large stockpot, combine the water, dry white wine, Old Bay seasoning, and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the potatoes to the pot and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes cook for 15 minutes.

Step 3

After 15 minutes, add the sausage slices and corn to the pot. Cover the pot again and cook for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, then carefully add the clams and mussels. Ensure they are placed at the bottom of the pot to steam well. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the clams and mussels have opened. Discard any that do not open.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the pot and cover. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the cooked seafood, vegetables, and sausage to a large serving platter or bowl using a slotted spoon.

Step 7

Ladle some of the cooking broth over the seafood mixture for extra flavor, and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing, and enjoy with crusty bread or a side salad.
