A combination of two recipe ideas, Clams casino and stuffed deviled clams came about when I had a lot of "stuff" left from another recipe and a big bowl of fresh clams, dinner for one/two or appetizers for 4 people. <br /> <br />I have a couple of ways to open clams just enough so that they are not cooked, steam until they just show a slight opening, just popped or under preheated broil for a few minutes enough to have a slight opening. Either way remove clams from shells immediately to a bowl along with any of the liquor in the shell. <br /> <br />Shuck the clams if you prefer, but I prefer to use some of the steaming liquid in the recipe...this makes about 21 because I ate one or two along the way, but you should get at least that and maybe 24- stuffed shells if you can resist tasting the clams, for freshness of course. <br />
