Categories     quick, weekday, appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 4 appetizer servings; 2 light main-course servings.

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 littleneck clams, well scrubbed
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more to brush on clams
Juice of 1 lemon
8 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise remove any green shoots in center
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for direct grilling over high heat.
  • Lightly brush the clams on both sides with olive oil. Arrange them on the grate, cover and cook until the shells pop open, 3 to 6 minutes. (You could grill the clams on aluminum foil to catch juices.)
  • Pour the lemon juice into a baking dish large enough to hold the clams in one layer. Transfer the clams to the dish with tongs, trying not to spill the juices.
  • Heat 3/4 cup olive oil in a small skillet on the grill. When hot, add the garlic and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pepper flakes, and stir for 15 seconds. Pour this over the clams.
  • Transfer the clams to 4 deep bowls. Whisk the juices in the baking dish for 1 minute and pour over the clams.

This recipe needs to be updated. The instructions are unclear and the ingredients are not listed correctly.

This recipe was a total disaster. I followed the instructions exactly, but my clams never cooked through.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my clams turned out tough and chewy.

I had some trouble finding fresh clams, but I eventually found them at a specialty seafood market.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I'm not usually a fan of clams, but this recipe changed my mind. The clams were so tender and flavorful, and the fried garlic added a nice touch.

This dish was easy to make and packed with flavor. I especially loved the combination of the salty clams and the sweet garlic.

These grilled clams with fried garlic were a hit at my last party! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the clams were cooked to perfection.
