24 to 36 littleneck clams
1 bottle beer

Instructions

Step 1
Heat gas grill. Wash clams one at a time, scrubbing lightly to remove sand from outside.

Step 2
Set grill-proof pan (camping pan or cast iron pan) on grill rack. Pour beer into pan.

Step 3
Place clams on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; steam clams 5 minutes. Check and remove any clams that are wide open. Cover grill; continue steaming 5 minutes longer or until all clams have opened wide. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

If a clam doesn’t open, discard it. Don’t ever try to force clams to open.
A good lager produces great flavor for the clams.
Littleneck clams are best for this preparation.
