Every bit as tasty as a traditional clam bake, this updated recipe takes the bake to the grill. A rustic tomato and herb infused sauce brings a traditional flair to fresh mussels, clams and shrimp. Enjoy with your favorite loaf of crusty artisan bread and a glass of crisp white wine. For ease of preparation, the tomato sauce can be made a day ahead.

Ingredients
Method
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onion, shallot, and garlic and cook until they begin to turn translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add chorizo, if using, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the stove and transfer to a bowl.
Add tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper and mix together. Set aside.
Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking.
Arrange 2 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 2 feet long, on top of each other on a clean surface.
Arrange clams, mussels, and shrimp in the middle of the foil and pour the tomato mixture and wine over the top.
Bring the foil together to form a package that is closed on all sides.
Place package directly on the grill for about 7 minutes.
Open the package and give a quick stir. (Be careful when opening the tent due to steam that may be released.)
Reseal package and grill for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. The shellfish is cooked when the mussels and clams are open and the shrimp has a milky white appearance.
Empty the contents of the foil package onto a large serving platter and serve hot.
