With summer in full swing, it only makes sense to advantage of the fresh seafood that's in abundance. Clams, lobsters, oysters, and crab have never been sweeter and fresher. To prepare a crab boil in your own kitchen, go the easy route and make a sheet pan clam bake. This clam bake has all the goods of a clam boil including sausage, corn, potatoes, and of course, loads of clams. Toss everything in a kickin' Cajun spiced butter for extra flavor and bake until the clams open up. The best part? All of the ingredients soak up the flavors instead of boiling away in a pot!
