Baked Stuffed Clams

Ingredients

  • clam shells (24 pieces)
  • canned minced clams (2 (6.5 ounce) cans)
  • canned crab meat (1 (6 ounce) can)
  • bread crumbs (4 cups)
  • sweet onion (0.25 cup)
  • garlic (2 cloves)
  • Italian flat leaf parsley (2 tablespoons)
  • butter (4 tablespoons)
  • olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • lemon pepper (0 )
  • paprika (0 )
  • lemons (2 )

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  2. In a large frying pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until translucent. Stir in clams, crab meat, parsley, lemon pepper, and bread crumbs. Reduce heat to low, and slowly pour in clam juice until mixture is slightly sticky, but not wet.
  3. Fill each clean clam shell with mixture, pressing tightly into shell. Arrange on a baking sheet, and sprinkle lightly with paprika. (Stuffed shells may be covered and frozen at this point for later use.)
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and sizzling. If frozen, bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until warmed through. Serve warm on a platter with lemon wedges.
