This dish can also be served over pasta.
36 littleneck clams, washed well
1/2 pound unsalted butter
3/4 cup white wine
2 1/2 lemons, cut in half
2 1/2 Tablespoons parsley, chopped
Salt and freshly cracked white pepper to taste
Combine the butter and wine in a shallow baking pan that can hold
all of the clams and withstand low heat on your grill.
Prepare the grill, half of the fire should be medium-heat, and the
other half medium-low.
Place the pan with the butter and wine in it on the low-heat side
of the grill, place the clams on the rack on the high-heat side.
The clams will open when cooked. This should take about 8 minutes
to 11 minutes, depending on your fire.
