                             Beer-Steamed Clams on a Gas Grill

Needless to say I am cooking out on my grill again. 

I came across this recipe today and went out and got some clams and a bottle of beer. (don't ask). Clams are on sale at Price Chopper this week. For  two dozen you will only pay 2.50. If its only you then a dozen will do just fine.

Anyway when I saw this recipe I just had to try it and I was not disappointed.

I think you will like it too.

 This is great by the way served on a bed for fresh spinach flavored with salt, pepper, lemon and nutmeg.
