Ingredients
Fresh sweet corn
Assortment of seafood (crabs, lobster, mussels) |
Method
Place fresh sweet corn on the cob andassortment of cleaned fresh seafood in
a big steamer and steam for about 10 - 15 minutes until all clams are open.
Tips:
1. Soak clams/mussels in a large container of fresh water, sprinkle a bit of
flour and cover with ice cubes, to flush out the sand. Soak for an hour or
longer.
If buying clams/mussels from the market, select those that are not chipped
or damaged, and are tightly closed. The ones with opened shells should be
discarded. Remove packaging and allow clams to breathe.
2. Remove barnacles or "beard", and gently brush.
3. Do not overcook. Seafood generally cooks easily.
If you don't have time to soak to expel all the sand from the clams, rinse
cooked clam meat (off the shell) in a bowl of clam juice (basically water
from the steamer) before eating.
Enjoy.
