1. Place clams in a large pot and cover with
water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer,

any that have not opened. Strain liquid
through a mesh strainer lined with a coffee
filter into a heatproof bowl and set aside.

chop; set aside.
3. In the same pot, melt butter over medium
heat. Add bacon and cook until fat is rendered
but bacon is still soft. Add pepper, onion and
celery. Cook and stir 7-8 minutes or until
vegetables are just tender-crisp. Add potato
and garlic and cook 5 minutes more.
4. Sprinkle flour over the potato mixture and
stir to combine. Gradually whisk in 12 cups
of the reserved cooking liquid, whisking until
there are no lumps. Whisk in white wine and
cream. Add thyme, bay leaf and salt and
pepper to taste. Bring to a boil then reduce
to a simmer, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes
or until potatoes are tender.
5. Stir in tomatoes, shrimp and cooked
clams. Return to a simmer and cook
1-2 minutes or until heated through.
Remove thyme and bay leaf.

LET'S TALK
Our cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp still have their tails intact
(perfect for shrimp cocktail!). While these tails-contrary to popular belief-
are actually edible, many would rather avoid them entirely. If you prefer your
shellfish sans shell, simply remove the tails prior to cooking. These bits have big
flavor though, so consider keeping them for stock rather than discarding.
