Ingredients
- 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, 1 stick melted, 1 stick cubed
- 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning
- 2 teaspoons chili flakes
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, quartered or sliced in half depending on how big they are (they should be around the same size as the corn halves)
- 4 ears of corn, shucked and cut in half
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 bottles (24 ounces) IPA beer
- 12 cloves garlic, skin on
- 2 red onions, skin on, quartered
- 2 pounds chorizo sausage
- 4 dozen littleneck clams, cleaned
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Few dashes of hot sauce
Instructions
- Set up your grill for even medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the coals evenly. If using a gas grill, heat both sides evenly.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter, seafood seasoning and chili flakes. Mix to combine. Add the potatoes and corn and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a steamer basket.
- To the bottom of a steam pot, add the chicken stock, beer, garlic, onions and a pinch of salt and black pepper and cover with a lid. Place the steamer basket onto the steam pot and place on the grill. Steam until the corn and potatoes are cooked three-quarters of the way through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sear the chorizo on all sides until the skin is charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side, then add to the steamer basket. Cover with the lid and cook for 5 more minutes. Add the clams, cover and cook until the clams have steamed open, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Pour the clams, chorizo, potatoes and corn onto a paper-lined table. Garnish with lemon wedges. Strain the broth into a smaller pot. Whisk in the cubed butter and hot sauce. Pour into mugs and serve alongside the clam bake.

Absolutely delicious and that broth was excellent. Used a reg clambake pot and a random insert. Worked great
Love all of the flavor combinations; sweet potatoes with clams and corn. Different but awesome.
I really want to make this but I want to use the pots that are used in the episode. Can I know what it is? Then I will also rate the results. By the way…one of my beloved shows & Chef. Love your wife…spicy plus Liv!
