Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick butter
3 cloves garlic chopped
2 heads shallots minced
1 bay leaf
¼ cup olive oil
12 squirts tabasco hot sauce (or season to taste)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground pepper
zest and juice of one lemon
1/4 cup minced flat leaf parsley
24 clam shells (cleaned (or scallop shells for baking))
4 cans (6.5 oz chopped clams, with juice)
1 ½ cup breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • In a large glass measuring cup, melt butter with garlic and shallots for 1 minute in microwave. This will soften the garlic and shallots. Add bay leaf, olive oil, tabasco & Worcestershire sauces, pepper, lemon zest and juice and parsley. Stir to combine.
  • Lay the shells on a baking pan lined with a silicone mat or foil.
  • Add 1 heaping tablespoon of clams to each shell with some juice. Next add to the clams a tablespoon of the butter mixture and be sure to include a bit of garlic and shallots to each shell. Last cover the clams/butter in each shell with a scant tablespoon of breadcrumbs.
  • Bake 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
  • Serve immediately.
  • TIP: to clean shells after eating, let them soak in warm water and Dawn for 30 minutes. They will clean right up. Dry and reuse for next time.

Another recipe to try soon. I found the 1 teaspoon garlic salt too salty. I'd cut it in half or substitute garlic powder. This is more of an appetizer than main dish.
