  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  16      Large or      20 small Clams -- in shells
   4                    lobster tails -- frozen-thawed,ok
   4      cups          parsley sprigs
   4      lg. ears      corn -- halved or 8 sm
                        Clarified Butter

Thoroughly wash, drain, and rinse clams in salt water (1/3 cup salt to 1
gallon water) three times.  With kitchen shears, cut down both undersides of
lobster tails; pull off thin underside membranes.
Tear off eight 2 1/2 foot lengths of heavy aluminum foil for each packet.
Place 1 cup parsley sprigs in center of each packet.  Arrange one lobster
tail, four large clams and the corn, on top of bed of parsley.  Repeat with
remaining ingredients to complete 4 packets.
Drizzle Clarified Butter evenly over lobster, clams and corn in the packets.
Seal tightly.
Place packets seam side up, on grill (or directly on coals).  Cover and grill
over medium heat for 20 to 25  minutes or until lobster is bright red and
cooked, and clams are opened.  (Discard any unopened clams).  To serve,
remove lobster, clams and corn from packets to serving plates.  Spoon juices
over the seafood and corn.  Serves 4.
This is very good served with fresh garden salad and of course coleslaw.  A
fresh loaf of home-made bread is a bonus - or rolls.
We usually serve with assorted fresh fruits for the desserts - with a little
whipped cream.  Simple - but well received.
