How to Make Clams Casino
- Open 2 dozen clams, reserving the best 2 dozen shells. Discard any clams that don't open during cooking.
- Spread a 1/2 inch layer of rock salt in the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Securely push the reserved clam shells into the salt to prevent them from tipping.
- Fry 4 slices of bacon until crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Remove bacon from pan and place on paper towels to drain. Press out excess grease.
- Finely chop the cooked bacon.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter, 2 tablespoons finely chopped bacon, 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots, 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, 1 tablespoon chopped pimento, 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
- Place 1 clam in each reserved shell. Top each clam with a generous dollop (about 1 tablespoon) of the bacon-butter mixture.
- Broil under a high broiler for 5-10 minutes, or until the butter is sizzling and the bacon is crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
