Steamed Clams on the Half Shell

Submitted by Rita1652

"I couldn't find good fresh littleneck clams so the fish monger told me about these Northern Chef Clams. They are great! Farm Raised Clams on the half-Shell Pre-cooked-Quick frozen. They are all cleaned and purged to eliminate any sand. And processed over strict specifications. A Tai Foong Usa Inc product. And so very cheap! There's 24 clams in a package for $2.00. They are frozen so this can be kept in the freezer and whipped up for unexpected company! Servings are 2-6 depending on if you're making an appetizer or a meal."

Excellent! Finding fresh clams in Phoenix requires a separate trip to a specialty store. I'll be making many trips for this dish. I made this as directed except for using 2 pounds of clams (1 for DH and 1 for me)! I served this over linguini and we mopped up every bit of sauce with crusty bread.
