Add new potatoes and bring back to a boil. When potatoes are fork tender, add corn, sausage, blue crabs and clams. Bring to a boil and cook for approximately 3 minutes or until clams start to open. Add shrimp and cook 2 more minutes. Carefully pull basket out and dump on table. Shake Old Bay over all of it. Retain stock for additional boils that day.

Keep stirring, and add scallops, shrimp and mussels and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, then add sausage, julienne red peppers and onions. Cook until all shellfish open (8 minutes average).

Add reserve 2.5 cups chicken stock, stirring constantly, to moisten Paella, as desired. Place Paella in a large-rimmed platter, garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
In 1978 A.W. Shuck’s opened on The Market. It was a place where you could get a plate of fried shrimp, a dozen raw oysters or an ice cold pitcher of beer. Shuck’s has expanded and evolved, but has remained true to its roots of local décor, local food, and a local atmosphere ... a casual, upscale spot where all feel at home.
Tristan offers a bold American menu with a global influence in a beautiful, yet relaxed atmosphere that reflects the character of a fine dining establishment. Located at 55 South Market Street (next to the French Quarter Inn), Tristan offers an energetic bar and an award-winning wine list.
Welcome to Charleston. Our heart of pine floors, ceiling fans and walls of hand-made brick have been the signatures of Lowcountry high-life since antebellum times. Even our name is derived from plantation jargon for livin’ large. Our menu is hearty and southern, featuring regional favorites prepared with Maverick artistry.
