Clambake Packets
I’ve long been a fan of things prepared in a foil packet—we’ll make them quite a bit when out on the boat or camping. This one, with fresh seafood, sausage, corn on the cob and potatoes, just tastes like summer on the shore. —Laura Davis, Chincoteague, Virginia

This recipe was great to take camping. I did some things differently. I had 4 people to feed, which going camping one always eats more. I wrapped up the potatoes, uncooked (but smoked Andouille ) sausaged and let those bake on the grill for 20 minutes. Then I added to each 1/4 packet Old Bay Seasoning, 2 tsp each, added the corn, shrimps and clams and baked for 10 minutes more. This recipe is similar to a "crab boil" that I make at home, so didn't want the shrimp or clams to be overcooked. It turned out delicious.
James if you read the recipe it says to divide every thing in to 6 foil packets not every thing in separate packs. I hope this helps
My family loved this recipe! I did exactly what the recipe said; I divided the ingredients among the six foil pieces and I used the roasted size potatoes, still cutting them in half, and it was absolutely delicious!
The idea is great, however your execution of the recipe is way off. Your picture shows one foil packet with all the ingredients mixed together. Yet the directions say put all the ingredients in separate packets, and you have one to many packets for the list of ingredients. Do some proof reading.
The potatoes were still crunchy like apples so we put back in oven for twenty more minutes. At this point the shrimp were so overcooked that the peels didn't want to come off. Next time I will boil the potatoes for 10 minutes before adding them to packet.
