Okay, I'm a big fan of Baked Clams. I have searched for years for a great recipe. I found one that we liked and improvised somewhat. Give it a try, I'm sure that you will like them. And sorry in advance, I do NOT measure ingrediants!
minced fresh garlic
butter
canned chopped clams
onions, chopped
peppers, chopped (green)
bread crumbs
shrimp
parmesean cheese
I take the butter, garlic, onions and peppers and sautee in a pan until soft. Then I add 2 cans of chopped clams, only add one can with the juice, reserve the other juice in case you need it. Add the shrimp and bread crumbs. Mix to a consistency that you like. Put into clam shells (I purchase clam "tins" at the local restaurant supply store) and top with some parmesean cheese. Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes or until the tops start to brown.
Serve with lemon wedges.

Hmmm.... The boyfriend brought home a bag of frozen clams from his mom's last week. I was going to look for an easy clam chowder recipe but this looks pretty good too. I've never seen or heard of clam "tin" but I'll figure something out. I'll probably change the cheese though because we aren't fond of parmesean in my house.
