Instructions
Clams
- Under running water, use a stiff brush to scrub and clean the clams.
- In a bowl, combine cold water and salt. Stir until the salt dissolves. Add the clams and let them sit for 25 minutes. If there is a lot of sand coming out, repeat this process until there is no sand coming out of the clams. Remove the clams from the bowl and run them over clean water one more time to rinse.
- Fill a saute pan with water over medium-high heat, and add the clams. Once the water begins to boil, bring the heat to medium and cook until the clams open (about 8-10 minutes).
- Transfer the clams to a plate and let them cool for about 3 minutes or until you are able to handle them with your hands.
- Use your hands to remove one half of each shell, and disloge the clam meat from the shell, putting it back in the shell.
Seasoning / Mở hành
- Wash and thinly slice the scallions.
- In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add all the sliced scallions, cook for about 30 seconds or until softened and fragrant. Stir in the salt.
- Remove from heat.
- Season with salt and pepper based on your preference.
Assembly
- Combine the chopped clam meat with the sauce in a bowl.
- Scoop the clam meat and sauce mix in half of a clamshell. Until all the clam meat is placed in the shells.
- Over a grill in medium heat, place the clamshells with the meat on the grill and cook just enough to heat up and hit a boil, then remove from the grill.
- Serve with any of the sides to your liking!
