Method:
Lightly brown the sausages in a skillet over
medium-high heat
for 3 to 5 minutes and drain on paper towels.
Reserve, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 12
hours before the clambake.
Scrub and rinse the clams well and keep them in ice
until ready to cook.
Scrub the potatoes and shuck the ears of corn.
Set aside.
Cut cheese cloth into 30 - 16-inch squares of
double thickness.
Wrap up 2 clams, 1 sausage, 1 potato, and 1 ear of
corn in each.
Bring the corners of the cheesecloth together and
tightly tie the
sacks with kitchen string.
Layer the sacks with seaweed in galvanized tubs and
place the
tubs in prepared pits.
Steam for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the clam
shells open.
Serve with the cayenne-lime butter, salt, and
pepper. |
