Directions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat a grill to high. Place the clams directly on the grill rack or in a large baking pan in a single layer and cover the grill. Grill until the clams just open, about 4 to 6 minutes (discard any clams that do not open). Use tongs to transfer to a large bowl (be careful to keep as much juice in the shells as possible).

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the garlic, parsley, dill and lemon juice until well blended. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle the clams with the butter sauce. Serve immediately with the lemon wedges.
