BAKED STUFFED CLAMS
My clams are requested all the time. They are the perfect appetizer for any occasion and so easy to make. Definitely guaranteed to rival anything you get in a restaurant! Great to freeze and have as a quick snack anytime. (Note: if you don't have clam shells, form tin foil into clam shaped cups, and proceed as directed.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
- In a large frying pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until translucent. Stir in clams, crab meat, parsley, lemon pepper, and bread crumbs. Reduce heat to low, and slowly pour in clam juice until mixture is slightly sticky, but not wet. The bread crumbs will continue to absorb moisture, so be careful not to add too much clam juice.
- Fill each clean clam shell with mixture, pressing tightly into shell. Arrange on a baking sheet, and sprinkle lightly with paprika. (Stuffed shells may be covered and frozen at this point for later use.)
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and sizzling. If frozen, bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until warmed through. Serve warm on a platter with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Directions:.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Clean clam shells. With a scrubby, run under water and scrub the outside of each shell, well, then rinse and set aside. Do each shell until all 12 are cleaned and rinsed off.
- I did (6) clams at a time, straining the liquid through a coffee filter in a colander into another pot to cook the remaining (6) clams, but if you have a pot big enough to hold all 12 clams in a single layer, you can cook all 12 at once. Place clams in bottom of pan, in a single layer. Add: about 1/2 to 3/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 clove garlic, minced, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1 tsp dried oregano. 1 teaspoons dried parsley, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional).
- Cover and steam until clam shells open, somewhere's between 5 - 10 minutes.
- Remove clams and again strain the clam liquid through a coffee filter in a colander. Separate shells, by twisting and pulling apart. Trim edges where connected with knife to smooth shell edges. Set aside.
- Chop clams, set aside. Open can of diced clams, set aside.
- In a large frying pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Stir in onion and celery, cook until translucent. Cook scallops in a separate pan till almost done. Then stir chopped clams, add can of diced clams with liquid, chopped crab meat, cooked scallops with any liquid, chopped shrimp, parsley, lemon pepper, into the onion and celery mixture. Reduce heat to low, and add bread crumbs, then slowly pour in strained clam juice from cooked clams until mixture is slightly sticky, but not wet. The bread crumbs will continue to absorb moisture, you don't want to add too much clam juice or it will be too mushy.
- Fill each clean clam shell with mixture, pressing tightly into shell. Arrange on a baking sheet, and sprinkle lightly with paprika.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and sizzling.
- If frozen, bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until warmed through. Serve warm on a platter with lemon wedges. Servings: 12.

STUFFED CLAMS
Steps:
- Rinse the clams, and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. If salt is used, use a small amount because the clams themselves are salty.
- Open the clams or have them opened at the seafood shop. If desired, you may cut the meat of each clam in half and fill each half of the shell. Or you may leave the clams whole and fill only half the shells. Sprinkle the clams with equal portions of the bread-crumb mixture.
- Preheat the broiler to high. Place the clams under it, about four or five inches from the source of heat. Broil the clams for 1 to 2 minutes or until the crumbs are golden brown on top.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook onion until softened but not browned, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute, stirring, just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add wine, and bring to a simmer. Add clams, and stir to combine. Cover and steam until clams have opened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer clams to a rimmed baking sheet to cool, discarding any that do not open. Strain clam broth through a fine sieve, and reserve broth for making stuffing.
- When clams are cool enough to handle, remove all meat, and reserve. Remove half of each clam shell, and discard. Arrange the remaining halves on a rimmed baking sheet. Cut each clam into ½-inch pieces; return pieces to shell. (Clams can be prepared to this point up to 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Dividing evenly, press Herbed Breadcrumb Stuffing into clam shells, smoothing with the back of a spoon. Bake until tops are golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Nestle clams on seaweed, if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Prep the Clams: Before stuffing, ensure the clams are clean and free of sand or grit. Scrub the shells thoroughly and soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove any lingering impurities.
- Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients directly impacts the final dish. Choose fresh, plump clams, succulent shrimp, and flavorful crab meat.
- Don't Overstuff: While you want to fill the clams generously, avoid overstuffing them, as this can make them difficult to close and cook evenly.
- Control the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the clams during baking. Overbaking can result in tough, chewy clams, so remove them from the oven as soon as the filling is hot and bubbly, and the clams are cooked through.
- Serve with Accompaniments: Consider serving the stuffed clams with melted butter, lemon wedges, and chopped parsley for an extra burst of flavor and presentation.
