Time 15m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons salted butter
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil
24 razor clams, rinsed and scrubbed
1 tablespoon minced chives
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Put butter in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it smells fragrant and turns nut-brown. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and set aside.
  • Put a large griddle or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When very hot, slick with olive oil. Place clams, hinge-side down if possible, on pan. Cook about 5 minutes, until clams open. Turn clams over and cook until the meat just starts to brown. You may need to do this in two shifts, or in two pans. Transfer clams to serving platter. Reheat butter, stir in chives and pepper and spoon over clams.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover razor clams. I had some leftover from a seafood boil and they were perfect for this dish.

I thought the razor clams were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more seasonings next time.

The razor clams were a bit sandy, even after I cleaned them thoroughly. I think I'll try buying them from a different source next time.

These razor clams were a bit chewy for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I might try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

Absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and the razor clams were cooked perfectly. The brown butter sauce was rich and flavorful, and the lemon added a nice brightness. I served the clams over pasta and it was a hit with my family.
