Name: Shabazi Clams
Yield: 2-4
Ingredients: 2 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed clean (or 2 pounds of cockles); ½ cup white wine; 1 Tbsp olive oil; 2 Tbsp butter; 2 Tbsp Shabazi; Fresh lemon

Classic clams with white wine and butter – the La Boîte way. It’s a quick seafood appetizer that comes together in minutes on the stove. I like to sneak them onto the grill while getting things started. Some freshly steamed potatoes or a crusty loaf of bread and it’s on. Yalla.
