Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C)
• 18- by 13-inch (45 by 33 cm) rimmed sheet pan, lined with foil
1. On prepared pan, toss potatoes with oil, salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer. Roast in preheated oven for  20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are slightly tender.
2. Remove pan from oven and scatter mussels, clams, corn and sausage evenly over pan. Sprinkle with butter and Old Bay seasoning. Roast for 8 minutes.
3. Remove pan from oven and scatter shrimp over pan; stir to combine, then spread evenly over pan. Roast for 3 to 6 minutes or until mussels and clams have opened, shrimp are pink and opaque and potatoes are tender. Discard any mussels or clams that do not open.
4. Scoop seafood mixture into bowls with any accumulated juices and serve with any of the suggested accompaniments, as desired.

Notes

To make your own seafood seasoning, combine 3⁄4 tsp (3 mL) celery salt, 1⁄2 tsp (2 mL) freshly ground black pepper, 1⁄2 tsp (2 mL) sweet paprika and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
It is best to discard any mussels or clams that do not open after cooking because that is a strong indicator that they are not safe to eat.
