Time 25m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 to 12 pounds (about 100) littleneck or Manila clams, scrubbed
4 shallots, thinly sliced
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cups white wine
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Thyme sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium. Make the foil packets: Tear off twenty 20-inch-long pieces of heavy-duty foil. For each packet, stack 2 sheets of foil and pull up the edges to form a bowl shape; put about 10 clams in each packet.
  • Divide the shallots, garlic and parsley among the packets. Drizzle each with about 3 tablespoons wine and top with 2 tablespoons butter; season with salt and pepper. Gather the edges of the foil at the top and crimp to seal.
  • Place the packets on the grill and cook 10 to 12 minutes, or until the clams open. (Discard any unopened clams.) Serve straight from the packet; garnish with thyme.
