Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Scrub clams under cold running water until the shells are clean (see tip).
• Cut each strip of bacon, crosswise, into 6 equal pieces.
• In a large skillet , melt butter over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until not quite crisp. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the fat. Set aside.
• Using the same skillet, add red bell pepper to the bacon drippings and cook until softened, about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Turn off the heat and stir in breadcrumbs, Parmesan, black pepper, and table salt. Set aside.
• Fill a Dutch oven or a heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid with 2 to 3 inches of water. Bring to a rapid boil over high heat.
• Add clams, cover the pot, and cook until the shells open, about 5 minutes.
• Immediately drain the clams to prevent overcooking. Discard any unopened clams. Let clams cool until they can be handled.
• Twist and pull the clamshells apart and remove the clam to loosen its muscle. Place the clam back into the deeper of the 2 shell halves. Discard the remaining shell.
• Preheat the broiler to high. Place an oven rack 6 to 8 inches below the heat source.
• Spread a generous amount of rock salt over the bottom of a heatproof baking dish. Nestle clams slightly into the salt to stabilize them.
• Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each clamshell and top each clam with 1 piece of the bacon.
• Transfer to the oven rack and broil clams until the tops are golden brown and crisp, and the edges of the bacon are crisp.
• Sprinkle the parsley over the top and serve hot with lemon wedges.
• Serve and enjoy.

Steps:

• Soak the clams in cold water to purge any sand, about 20 minutes. Then scrub them clean to remove any dirt or barnacles from the outer shells and then drain.
• Add the white wine and cleaned clams to a large saucepan. Cover and heat over medium. After a few minutes, check to see if any of the clams have opened. Once they start opening, remove the opened clams to a large bowl to cool. Cover the pot and wait another minute or so before checking to see if any more clams have opened. Discard any clams that don't open after 5 minutes. Once all the clams have been removed, turn the heat down to low and let the white wine and clam juice mixture reduce until there is about 1/3 cup of liquid left.
• In the meantime, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to render its fat and slightly browns, about 2 minutes. Next, add the shallots and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Use a small fine-mesh sieve to strain the 1/3 cup of white wine-clam juice mixture into the skillet. Stir to combine and cook until the mixture is slightly reduced and cohesive, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool slightly.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and preheat the oven to broil.
• Mix the panko, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Carefully remove the top shell from each clam and use a spoon to loosen the meat from the bottom shell. Place the meat back into the bottom shell and then onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Divide the bacon mixture evenly among the clams, using a spoon to pack the mixture tightly into the shell. Top each of the clams with about 1 teaspoon of the panko mixture.
• Transfer the clams to the broiler and cook until the breadcrumbs are just golden brown, 30 seconds to a 1 minute. Keep an eye on them as the browning can happen quite quickly.
• Remove the clams from the oven and use tongs to transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately.

LYNN'S KILLER CLAMS CASINO

Steps:

• Have vendor that sells clams open them for you.
• Cook bacon until almost crisp (can sauté or bake). Set aside when done.
• Pour enough olive oil in bottom of pan to sauté (I'm somewhat generous with the olive oil). Be sure not to overwhelm the onion and pepper mixture. You don't want it to oily.
• 1 onion chopped pretty well.
• Sauté onion and chopped red pepper. (I use red pepper because it is sweeter taste than green).
• Sauté till onions are almost caramelized.
• Pour Worcestershire sauce on mixture.
• Taste mixture to see if it needs more Worcestershire sauce (we like it tangy).
• Spoon mixture over each clam.
• Crumble almost done bacon.
• Put under broiler for a minute.
• Don't burn bacon.
• Walla this is just the best thing EVER!

CLASSIC CLAMS CASINO

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in skillet until crisp.
• Drain excess fat, roughly chop, and set aside.
• Next, mix the softened butter, shallots, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt and cayenne until combined well.
• Arrange the clams in your largest skillet in a single layer.
• Please feel free to steam the clams in batches if they don't all fit in your pan.
• Add a cup or so of water, cover, bring to a boil, and steam clams until their shells just begin to open.
• Remember, the clams will be finished under the broiler, so don't let them go too long in the pan after they begin to open!
• Once the clams are cool enough to handle, twist off the top shell and discard.
• Slide a sharp knife under each clam to loosen it from the bottom shell.
• Line baking sheets or broiler pans with a crumpled large piece of foil - this allows you to press the shells into the foil so they are less likely to tip over.
• Spread about ¼ tsp of seasoned butter on each clam, top with chopped bacon, and ½ tsp of breadcrumbs.
• Arrange clams on baking sheet.
• The clams can be prepared up to this point, and them covered and refrigerated up to 4 hours until ready to broil.
• When ready to serve, preheat broiler.
• Broil clams until crumbs are toasted, and butter is melted and sizzling, about 3-4 minutes.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Shuck the clams, leaving each clam in the half-shell and reserving the juices. Strain the juices through a cheesecloth into a bowl.
• Place the clams on a rimmed baking sheet in one even layer. Top each clam with a pepper square, then with a bacon or pancetta square, and with a dab of butter, using all 3 tablespoons evenly. Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top. Pour the reserved shucking juices into a measuring cup, and add enough white wine to make 2 cups combined liquid. Pour the liquid into the bottom of the baking sheet.
• Bake the clams, uncovered, until the bacon or pancetta is crispy and the clams are cooked all the way through, about 25 minutes. Serve on a platter, drizzled with baking juices.

Steps:

• Cut each bacon strip into 4 pieces and lightly fry in a pan over medium heat. (You don't want the bacon to become crispy since it is going to go into the broiler later.) Remove and set aside half-cooked bacon.
• Chop the peppers and the onion into a medium dice. Chop the jalapeño finely, discarding seeds. It's a good idea to wash your hands afterward.
• Add the peppers, the onion and the jalapeño to the softened butter.
• Add the Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice to taste.
• Add a generous pinch of the vegetable mixture to each of the opened clams on its half shell. Place a piece of the cooked bacon on top of the mixture on each clam.
• Place the clams under the broiler and let cook until the vegetables begin to wilt and the bacon is almost crisp, around 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
