Mixed Grill of Mussels, Clams and Shrimp
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 medium shallot, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked chorizo (optional)
- 1 (16.0-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 pound little neck clams, scrubbed
- 1 pound mussels, scrubbed and debearded
- 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled, tails left on
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
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.
