Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon chopped scallion
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl until well blended. Season herb butter to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Place clams on grill rack and cover grill with lid. Grill until clams just open, 6-8 minutes (discard any that do not open). Use tongs to transfer to a platter, being careful to keep as much juice in the shells as possible.
  • Dot clams with herb butter; let stand until butter melts. Serve warm with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.

I followed the recipe exactly and the clams turned out great. The herb butter was a little too salty for my taste, but that's an easy fix.

The first time I made this dish, I overcooked the clams a bit. But I've since learned that it's important to cook them just until they open. That way, they're still tender and juicy.
