Grilled Clams in Beer Broth

Grilled Clams in Beer Broth

This is a crowd-pleaser for shellfish lovers. Grilled clams are best eaten straight out of the pan with a cold drink. To make this an entrée, allow about 12 clams per person. Grab a hunk of bread to sop up the extra cooking liquid in the pan.
