This vibrant seafood dish of grilled clams with lemon-ginger butter is a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy fresh shellfish. Using the barbecue adds a subtle smoky depth that perfectly complements the bright, citrusy notes of lemon and the gentle warmth of fresh ginger. It is a fantastic choice for an outdoor starter or a light main course during the warmer months, offering a wonderful balance of savoury juices and aromatic herbs.
Preparing the clams in a foil tray ensures that none of the delicious, briny liquor is lost, creating a natural sauce when combined with the flavoured butter. Though traditionally listed as a seafood appetiser, the inclusion of crisp, charred baguette makes it a satisfying meal for two. Ensure you provide plenty of bread to mop up every drop of the zesty ginger-infused butter.

Ingredients for Grilled Clams with Lemon-Ginger Butter and Grilled Baguette
60g (1/2 stick) butter, room temperature
4 teaspoons minced shallot
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
6 1/2-inch-thick diagonal baguette slices

How to make Grilled Clams with Lemon-Ginger Butter and Grilled Baguette
Prepare barbecue (high heat). Using spatula, blend butter, minced shallot, minced fresh parsley, fresh lemon juice, minced fresh ginger, and finely grated lemon peel in small bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper. Thinly spread lemon-ginger butter on 1 side of each bread slice. Arrange clams in single layer in disposable aluminum pan. Place pan on grill, cover barbecue, and cook just until clams open, 8 to 10 minutes (discard any clams that do not open).
Using slotted spoon, transfer grilled clams to 2 shallow bowls. Grill bread until slightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add remaining lemon-ginger butter to juices in pan; stir on grill until melted. Pour juices from pan over clams. Serve with bread.
