Ingredients
Rock salt or pickling salt
24 cherry stone clams (buy them scrubbed, split them and loosen clam)
1 stick butter, softened
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 tablespoon crab boil (recommended: Old Bay seasoning)
1 teaspoon black pepper
A few drops hot sauce
4 slices bacon, look for package marked "Center Cut" its lean and thin, cut slices into 1-inch pieces
Directions
- Pour rock salt into a shallow baking pan or dish. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Set clams upright into salt. The salt will steady them. Mix butter with shallot, spices and hot sauce. Dab each clam with 1 teaspoon of the mixture and top with a piece of bacon. Bake 5 to 7 minutes, until bacon is crisp and butter is brown and bubbling. YUMMO!
