How to Make Grilled Clams Oreganate

  1. Scrub clams thoroughly. Discard any that do not close tightly when tapped.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  3. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, oregano, parsley, breadcrumbs, and olive oil. Mix well to form a crumbly mixture.
  4. Place clams directly on the hot grill grates.
  5. Grill clams for 5-7 minutes, or until the shells open. Discard any clams that do not open.
  6. Using tongs or oven mitts, carefully remove the top shells of the opened clams.
  7. Spoon a generous amount of the herb topping onto each clam.
  8. Grill for another 1-2 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and heated through.
  9. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
