This is a 5 star flavor but the ingredients and steps don’t totally make sense. Where do the kidney beans (1 tsp?) and the Castelvetrano olives go in? Into the butter sauce? At the end? Totally lost so skipped. Also, in step 3, talks about seafood seasoning but that’s not in the list of ingredients? I took this to mean Old Bay – which I added, and used 3/4 TBLS each of both Creole and Old Bay. Skipped the clams but used prawns – basically very large shrimp and added a rough chopped onion. Cook time was spot on (27 min) for the meatiness of the seafood I had. We oohed and awwed at every bite. Better than any boil! We will absolutely make this again! Thank you!!
I substituted scallops for clams, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. The sauce to put on is the perfect mixture of New Orleans style spice. The recipe doesn’t explain how to cook lobster (slice the shell) or the snow crab legs (wash and scrub and that’s it). It’s an expensive bake, but delicious and lasts for days. I was surprised that it made me actually like the corn on the cob! I will be doing this one again.
We loved this recipe! It turns out so much better than boiling it for sure. I just make mine with clams, shrimp and andouille sausage. I also like to add some potatoes to ours and serve with crusty bread to soak up the juices. I make individual foil packets so everyone gets their own for dinner. Making it in the oven makes it so easy!
Made it in the oven and on the grill! I may not go back to the “boil” again!
