Recipe by Silvia Baldini— No need to dig a hole for a sand pit. This delicious clambake is a one pot stove top dish ready in 25 minutes. The secret to this New England showstopper recipe's success is to add the ingredients in the right order. Lobsters are my favorite, of course you can substitute them with shrimps or crabs, just shorten the cooking time by 5 minutes. I promise you, no matter what you use it will always be a crowd pleaser.
