Recipe
- 1 ½ cups clams, drained and finely chopped, (reserve clam liquid)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 10 to 12 large clam shells or other shells
- Paprika
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan then remove from heat. Add remaining ingredients except paprika and mix well. Add enough of the reserved clam liquid to moisten the clam mixture.
Fill shells with mixture. Sprinkle paprika over top. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 10 to 15 minutes.
