Grilled Garlic Butter Clams

[Larry Wolfe]

I combined a little butter, EVOO, garlic, oregano, black and red pepper.

While that was cooling, I shucked a 50 count bag of cherrystone clams. Had about 5 dead ones, so they were tossed.

Then brushed the mixed over every clam. I know cheese is normally taboo, with seafood, but I was going to put a little parmesean cheese on top of each clam, but decided at the last minute to skip this time.

When the grill was hot, I put 4lbs of snow crab legs on to steam while the clams cooked.

Now it's time for the clams. Cooked indirect for 5 minutes.

5 minutes later the clams are ready! Spritzed with a bit of fresh lemon juice.

My plate along with the leftover Chile' Garlic Shrimp.

And my little clam lover enjoying the clams! These were fantastic!

Oh, yeah !! I really miss having access to fresh seafood! You'd think, living between Lake Erie and Ontario and ON the Niagara River, there'd be some fresh fish markets around. Anybody got a reliable boat for sale? CHEAP???

Oh, man, those clams look amazing. Have to take a crack at that some day.

Great idea/cook on those clams Larry. I cook clams direct on the grill often (whole, let them steam in the shell until they open), but I'll have to shuck them next time and give this a try. Maybe along with some grilled oysters

Larry,

Do you have an exact recipe for the clams? I think I'd like to give it a try.
