STEAMED CLAMS WITH JALAPEñO BUTTER
Recipes do not come easier, though you will want to make sure that you take the time to scrub the shells before steaming. There's nothing worse than sand in your clams. The bacon is optional, but I like the smokiness it adds to the broth. As for the jalapeño butter, it provides a zip against the brine and sweetness. You can heat it to make a brown butter, adding nuttiness to the mix, but it's not necessary.

Steps:
- Scrub the clams under cold running water to remove grit and sand, then set aside.
- Melt 2 teaspoons of the butter in a large pot set over medium heat. Add the bacon, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has started to crisp, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add the beer to the pot, and allow to heat through, then carefully add the clams in layers. Cover the pot, and let the clams steam and open, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
- While the clams cook, put a small pot over medium heat, and add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. When it melts, add the jalapeños and stir to combine. Keep the butter warm until ready to use.
- Drain the clams, reserving their liquor, and serve them on a platter, with the reserved clam broth and the melted butter.

PASTA WITH CLAMS, ZUCCHINI, AND ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS
Steps:
- Soak clams in cold salted water for about 1 hour. Drain.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
- While spaghetti is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet and cook garlic for about 1 minute. Remove from the skillet. Add white wine and clams and cover. Cook until clams open, about 2 minutes. Remove clams from pot. Remove from shells, making sure to catch the liquid. Stir in zucchini and zucchini blossoms; season with salt and red pepper flakes and pour in clam juice. Cook until zucchini are soft, 7 to 10 minutes. When zucchini are almost soft, add clams and heat for 1 minute. Add drained spaghetti and parsley. Season with pepper.

GRILLED CLAMS WITH CHARRED ZUCCHINI AND GARLIC
When I went to Charleston, South Carolina a few years ago, I watched (I will admit, in horror) as a chef put whole oysters on a hot grill. He waited a few minutes and watched as they popped open as if they had some internal timer. He pulled 1 off the grill and handed it to me along with a lemon wedge. Having grown up in New York and eaten oysters raw my whole life, this was a sacred moment. The oyster was a little tough, but absolutely delicious. There is, to me, no better thing than when a food can be cooked in its own shell for deep, authentic (and simple) flavor. I tried the technique with littleneck clams and find I like it even more than the oysters. Be patient with the clams, sometimes they can take a few minutes to open on the grill. I find that when I give up and turn my back on them, that's when they open!

Steps:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a medium skillet, over low heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. When the oil gets hot, add the pine nuts. Season them lightly with salt and cook them, stirring constantly, until they turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove them from the pan to a small bowl. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, to taste, and the mint.
- In a large plate, combine the remaining olive oil, the zucchini slices, paprika and light sprinkling of salt. For best results, "dust" the zucchini with the paprika but put it in a little strainer and sprinkle it evenly over the zucchini slices. Toss to coat them with the oil. Season them lightly with salt. Arrange them in a single layer on the hottest part of the grill and cook until they are tender to the touch and charred but not falling apart, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a pair of metal tongs to remove the zucchini from the grill and transfer them to a flat surface. Stack the slices and cut them widthwise into 1/2-inch slices, then make 1 slice down the middle, creating a 1/2-inch dice. Toss them in the bowl with the pine nuts, and then add the lemon juice.
- Dip a cloth into some oil and rub over the grill grates. Scatter the clams on the grill in a single layer. Have a pair of tongs and a large platter ready. Littleneck clams take a while to open up, about 10 minutes depending on size, but that's all a part of the fun - the suspense of waiting for them to open. Add a splash of water to help them along and steam. As they open, use the tongs to remove them from the grill and put them on the platter. When they are all opened, scatter the zucchini and pine nuts all around. Try to get the zucchini inside the shells directly on top of the clams and serve immediately.

From Bon Appetit, this looks really good. Sounds like crusty bread would be great to soak up the sauce.

Steps:
- Boil salted water for the pasta. Meanwhile, combine the oil, jalapeño and garlic in a deep skillet over low heat and cook until fragrant. The aroma will tell you when the infusion is complete. If using dried oregano, add it now. (Add fresh at the last minute.) Increase the heat a bit, add clams and cover. Cook about 5 minutes, until all the clams have opened. (Move them around to make sure they're evenly heated.) The clam liquid should prevent the garlic and jalapeño from burning, but keep a careful eye. Remove pan from the heat, discard any unopened clams, cover and set over low heat.
- Cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and add the pasta to the clam mixture, tossing gently to coat it with the sauce and distribute the clams evenly. Season very sparingly with salt, if needed, and freshly ground white pepper. Sprinkle with fresh oregano and parsley and serve immediately.
