Ingredients

3 lb. fresh steamer clams
4 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
3 Tbsp. olive oil
3 cups kosher salt
2 lemons, each cut into 6 wedges

Steps:

Heat grill to medium heat.
Fill large skillet with water to 1-inch depth. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Add clams; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 3 to 4 min. or until clams open. (Discard any clams that do not open.) Drain clams in colander; rinse with cold water to remove any sand. Remove clam meat from shells; chop and set aside. Reserve 36 clam shell halves.
Cook bacon in large skillet on medium heat until crisp. Add garlic; cook and stir 30 sec. Stir in crumbs and parsley; remove from heat. Add cheese and oil; mix well. Stir in chopped clams.
Pour 1/2-inch-deep layer of kosher salt into 16-5/8x11-7/8x2-5/8-inch disposable aluminum pan. Fill shells with bacon mixture; place in single layer in salt. (The salt prevents the filled shells from tipping over.) Place pan on grill grate; grill 4 min. or until clams are heated through. Serve with lemon wedges.
