This weekend was our 3rd annual Christmas Crabs night. Christmas Crabs night usually consists of us getting seafood from
Race Street Fish and Poultry. We eat up some yummy crabs and then decorate our house for the holidays. Except, this year we skipped the Christmas decorating (because we will be moving soon).
As always the crabs were delicious and the Pinot Grigio was paired perfectly! In addition to our tradition we decided that it was time we made our own Clams Casino Recipe. Oh my, they were delicious. If you love seafood and love bacon then you will adore Clams Casino.
Unfortunately, while we were cooking we realized that our stove's bottom element went out. So we had to alter our cooking method just a little bit. Instead of cooking it for 10 minutes we had to used the broiler. Luckily, it was still tasty and wonderful.
The Bubs Clams Casino Recipe:
Ingredients:
* 12 Little Neck Clams
* 4 cloves Garlic, minced
* 1⁄2 c Shallots, minced
* 1⁄2 c Red Bell Pepper, minced
* 3 slices Bacon, raw and minced
* 1 tbsp Bread Crumbs
* 2 c Kosher Salt
Instructions:
Line a cookie sheet with 1/2inch of Kosher Salt. Shuck and clean clams. Place on salted cookie sheet.
Cook bacon and reserve fat, set cooked bacon aside. Sauté remaining vegetable mixture in rendered fat until soften and slightly browned.
In a medium bowl mix together bacon, vegetables and bread crumbs. Salt and Pepper to taste.
Fill each clam shell with mixture (it will likely be about 1/2 tsp. to 1 tsp. per clam).
Cook in oven at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.
