CLAMS CASINO
24 pieces
This treatment is also quite tasty with oysters or mussels.
Preheat the broiler. Combine in a bowl and mix well:
- 4 tablespoons (½ stick) butter, softened
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1 ½ tablespoons minced parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Shuck, leaving on the half-shell:
- 24 small hard-shell clams, such as cherrystone or littleneck
Place the clams on a rimmed baking sheet. Divide the butter mixture among the clams. Top them with:
- 6 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
Broil until the butter is bubbling, about 3 minutes.
