Fresh Baked Clams image

I love clams! These sound good since you steam them first and them remove them from the shell, make a topping and put them back into the shell with the butter/garlic/crumb topping and broil. I love when the clam is left whole and not chopped (they stay juicy) but it is a personal preference and you could chop them, especially if you can't get fresh small clams.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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.
