Recipe by /contributors/rick-martinez With a mega-flame and a gargantuan pot, you can cook an ocean's worth of seafood in a fraction of the time it would take on the stovetop—without stepping foot in a steamy kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound thick-cut smoked bacon, cut into 1" pieces
  • 3 large onions, chopped
  • 2 large fennel bulbs, chopped
  • 1 750 ml bottle dry white wine
  • 1 cup kosher salt
  • 16 ounces chili-garlic sauce
  • 1 cup Old Bay seasoning
  • 4 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes
  • 3 (1 1/2 –2-pound) live lobsters
  • 2 pounds mussels, scrubbed, debearded
  • 24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
  • 6 ears of corn, husked, cut in half
  • 2 pounds head-on, shell-on jumbo shrimp
  • 4 serrano chiles, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
  • 3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon in pot (a. k. a. boiler) over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and crisp, 5 –8 minutes. Add onions and fennel and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and tender, 8 –10 minutes. Add wine, salt, and 15 quarts cold water; cover pot and bring stock to a rolling boil. Cook 30 minutes.
  2. Stir chili-garlic sauce and Old Bay into stock; increase heat to high. Place potatoes in basket insert and carefully lower into pot. Cover pot and return stock to a boil; cook 10 minutes. Add lobsters, mussels, clams, and corn to basket, cover, and return to a boil, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp, turn off heat, and let sit, covered, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in 16 cups ice water and let sit, covered, 15 minutes to infuse. Meanwhile, whisk chiles, lime zest, lime juice, oil, vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl. Let sauce sit at room temperature 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  3. Carefully lift out basket and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange potatoes, corn, lobsters, clams, mussels, and shrimp on several layers of newspapers to absorb excess moisture; discard stock. Stir basil and mint into sauce and serve alongside seafood and vegetables.
