Salt To Taste Pepper To Taste When renowned chef Pierre Franey visited Avery Island he observed some age-old local commercial enterprises ~ crawfish farming oyster shucking and boudin making ~ with great curiosity and enthusiasm. Here he brings his incomparable touch to cherrystone clams best enjoyed with a loaf of crusty French bread and a carafe of wine. The southermers defer to the Yankees on this one. ~------------------------------------------------------ ~----------------- Preheat the broiler. Open the clams and arrange them neatly on half shells on a baking sheet. In a small bowl cream the butter with the remaining ingredients. Spoon the mixture evenly over the clams. Place them under the broiler for 1 minute. Serve immediately with French bread. From: The Tabasco Cookbook. Typed by Syd Bigger.
