Clam Bake!

For my Brother and Sister's 50th Birthday (yes, they're twins) we decided to a backyard Clam Bake on the Grill  The star attractions for the day were Lobster, Clams, Crab Legs, Craw Fish, Sausage, Corn and Potatoes.  There were worries that this may be too big a task for us to handle, but it actually turned out to be not so hard to pull off.

We loaded up the critters in large foil pans filled with an inch of water, we added Old Bay Spice and Lemon.  We started off with a layer of little neck Clams and then placed the Lobsters on top.

We then added in the Crab Legs.

We had a separate steamer pot going on a propane burner that handles the Corn, Potatoes, Sausage, and Craw Fish

We covered the foil pans with tin foil and placed them on the grill to steam for 30 minutes

After they came off the grill we split up the goodies into piles for everyone to pick from.  My other brother was spotted drinking the leftover juice from the bottom of the pans. 

 

It was a warm sunny day and we enjoyed the meal with some ice cold beers.....who could ask for a better day????

All in all, this made for a memorable birthday(s) and fun afternoon.
