Details
- Servings: 6
- Serving Size: 4 clams
Ingredients
- 24 littleneck clams
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 garlic cloves, minced fine
- 2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp chopped fresh dill
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges
Preparation
- Preheat a grill to high. Place the clams directly on the grill rack or in a large baking pan in a single layer and cover the grill. Grill until the clams just open, about 4 to 6 minutes (discard any clams that do not open). Use tongs to transfer to a large bowl (be careful to keep as much juice in the shells as possible).
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the garlic, parsley, dill and lemon juice until well blended. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
- Drizzle the clams with the butter sauce. Serve immediately with the lemon wedges.
