Ingredients
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 TBSP salt
  • 1.5 lbs baby red potatoes
  • 1 12 oz can or bottle of New England IPA (or any beer you have in your fridge)
  • 10 fresh thyme sprigs (divided)
  • 14 oz andouille sausage
  • 1.5 ears fresh sweet corn
  • 1.5 lbs littleneck clams (or similar)
  • 2 1.5 lb live lobsters
Instructions
  1. Bring water and salt to a boil
  2. Add potatoes, beer, sauusage, 5 thyme sprigs, return to a boil then reduce heat to med-high and allow to simmer for 15 minutes
  3. Add corn, followed by lobsters, clams and 5 more sprigs of thyme.
  4. Cover and continue cooking until lobsters are bright red and clams have opened (about 15 more minutes).
  5. Drain and reserve broth. You can use the broth later for a soup base but I like to serve it with the bake for dipping
  6. Serve on a table covered with newspaper or parchment along with melted butter and lemon wedges.
