Sizzling Summer Clambakes

More Party Ideas



Sunny days and lots of fresh seafood make summer the prime time for entertaining. So bring out the shellfish and bring on the clambakes to spice up the barbeque!

No matter where you live, a clambake makes a great summer party. While traditional clambakes are associated with sand and surf, your kitchen or patio can work just as well.

All you need are the right ingredients and some good friends (with big appetites). A clambake can work for you, no matter where you live.

I have a few finger-licking good versions for you to follow. You can either choose the easy, one-pot party meal to cook at home or grill on the beach.

Or, if you'd rather spend your time sipping Island cocktails, a nice glass of white wine or refreshing cold beer, order all the ingredients online and you'll be party-ready in under an hour.

Just follow my "Gourmet the Easy Way Tips" tips to be the ultimate summer host.
