This exotic dish is cooked on the grill (in a disposable pan), so there's very little cleanup.

  • Yield

    Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, room temperature
4 teaspoons minced shallot
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
6 1/2-inch-thick diagonal baguette slices
2 pounds Manila clams, scrubbed

Special Equipment

13x9x2-inch disposable aluminum baking pan

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare barbecue (high heat). Using spatula, blend butter, minced shallot, minced fresh parsley, fresh lemon juice, minced fresh ginger, and finely grated lemon peel in small bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper. Thinly spread lemon-ginger butter on 1 side of each bread slice. Arrange clams in single layer in disposable aluminum pan. Place pan on grill, cover barbecue, and cook just until clams open, 8 to 10 minutes (discard any clams that do not open).

    Step 2

    Using slotted spoon, transfer grilled clams to 2 shallow bowls. Grill bread until slightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add remaining lemon-ginger butter to juices in pan; stir on grill until melted. Pour juices from pan over clams. Serve with bread.
