We love grilling and seafood has been a favorite for the past couple of summers. I went to 2 stores looking for oysters but everyplace was out of them so I decided to pick up some cherrystone clams instead. Although we enjoyed these we do prefer oysters. I made these with a white wine butter sauce that you see in the picture.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 28 cherrystone clams, scrubbed
- salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
Preheat grill to medium-high heat, 350-400 degrees. Place garlic and 4 tablespoons of butter in a small heatproof saucepan on the grill. Cook 3 minutes or until butter foams. Add wine to pan cook until mixture is reduced by half. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
Place clams directly on the grill grates, grill covered with the grill lid down. Grill for ten minutes or until clams begins to open checking every 2-3 minutes. Discard any unopened clams. When the clams are open, using a butter knife scrape the bottom of the clams releasing them from the shells, add the butter to the clam while still in the shell. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
