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.

Steps:

Wash the clams under fresh water, shuck them and leave the fruit on the half shell. In a bowl, add your ingredients and mix well until the oil has been fully absorbed by the bread crumbs. The bread will look uniformly wet. Add salt and pepper as desired. Place all the open clams in a baking sheet and with a teaspoon put the breadcrumbs in each clam until the clam is completely covered. Bake at 500F for 5-7 minutes, then put under the broiler for 1 minute to brown.

2 dozen clams, well scrubbed, hard shell
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup butter
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs (Italian style)
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

Put clams in a large kettle or clam pot with the water; cook over moderate heat, just until the shells open.
Remove from the heat and when cool enough to handle, pluck the whole clams from the shells; save half the shells.
Meanwhile, blend together the butter, garlic, parsley and bread crumbs.
Set each clam back into a half shell and spread about a teaspoon of the mixture atop each clam in a shell.
Arrange filled shells in a baking dish and broil 4" from the heat source until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Serve with lemon wedges.
