CLAMS CASINO

Yield: 4 servings
 

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 finely chopped red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onions
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 24 Florida Farm-raised clams
• 6 sliced bacon, cooked crisp, crumbled
 

DIRECTIONS

Combine bread crumbs, butter, bell pepper, parsley, green onions and pepper, blend well.

Shuck clams, leaving loosened clam meat in one half of shell and discard other half of shell.

Place clams on-half-shell in a baking dish and cover each with about a teaspoon of the casino mixture.

Broil clams 4 to 6 inches from heat for about 3 minutes or until browned.
