Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the Manila clams thoroughly under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Heat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Clams

    In a large bowl, combine the clams with olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat.

  4. 4

    Grill

    Place the clams on the grill. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open. Discard any clams that do not open.

  5. 5

    Add Butter and Lemon

    Once the clams are open, add the unsalted butter and lemon juice over them. Allow the butter to melt and mix with the juices for about 1-2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle chopped parsley over the clams and serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
