One-Pot Clambake with Shrimp

View Recipe

The following recipe, video and photography were provided by Chef Billy Parisi.

Hosting a clambake is no small endeavor. Between renting and assembling the equipment, ordering and preparing the food and then hosting a crowd of people, it’s a lot of work for one meal. Sure, it’s delicious, but I’m here to prove that you can enjoy classic clambake flavor with a little less effort.

Made in one pot with all of the beloved ingredients including clams, corn, potatoes and sausage, this clambake is as traditional as it gets, but you can make it indoors! Even better, Heinen’s has the highest quality meat, produce and seafood in the Midwest, so your meal is guaranteed to be fresh and flavorful!

This clambake also features shrimp for added seafood goodness, but you could easily omit it or or add another fresh catch, like lobster! The options are endless in Heinen’s Seafood Department.

Whether your hosting a smaller scale clambake or simply want to elevate your next family dinner, you simply must try this one-pot version!

  1. This recipe is crazy DELICIOUS along with being super fast and easy!!! My husband made it for our extended family last weekend and it was a big hit— we added some Heinen’s garlic bread and a big salad for the complete meal. Only downside was the awful weather on Saturday! The recipe is our new annual clambake tradition!
