Ingredients:

  • 32 shell clams (littlenecks or cherrystones)
  • 32 uncooked medium shrimp in shells (about 1 1/4 lb), thawed if frozen
  • 32 sea scallops (about 2 1/2 lb)
  • 4 ears fresh sweet corn, husks removed, cleaned, cut into fourths
  • 32 large cherry tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 2 tespoons grated lemon peel
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon freeze-dried chives
  • Fresh chive stems or chopped fresh chives, if desired

Instruction:

  1. Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 8 (18×12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray.
  2. Place 4 clams, shrimp and scallops in center of each sheet; top each with 2 pieces of corn and 4 tomatoes. In small bowl, mix butter ingredients. Drizzle about 2 teaspoons butter over seafood and vegetables in each packet.
  3. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  4. Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 to 20 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after 10 minutes, or until clam shells have opened, shrimp are pink, and scallops are white and opaque. (Cooking time may vary depending on ingredients selected) Discard any clams that don’t open.
  5. To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape. Top with chives.

FAQ

How do you grill fish step by step?

The best fish to grill are salmon and hearty, firm white fish like sea bass, red snapper, grouper, and halibut. If you would like to grill thin, delicate fish, it is best to wrap them in foil instead of using this method.

How do you grill fish in a kitchen?

Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or else it will become tough. Grill the shrimp over direct, medium heat for 5-7 minutes, turning the shrimp halfway through the process. When the shrimp is cooked, the outside should turn a nice pink color and the meat inside should be white and opaque.
