Clams Casino Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Clams

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the clams thoroughly under cold running water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt and debris. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

3. 3

   Sauté Aromatics

   In the same skillet, add the butter, minced garlic, and minced shallots. Sauté until the garlic and shallots are fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine Filling Ingredients

   Add the cooked bacon, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine, then add the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and paprika. Mix until well combined.

5. 5

   Fill the Clams

   Place the cleaned clams in a baking dish. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture generously over each clam.

6. 6

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your Clams Casino!
