2 Tbsp. onion, minced
2 Tbsp. parsley, minced
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. thyme

Directions

1

Prepare clams by soaking in cold, salted water for at least a few hours; this will take away fishy taste.
2

If you sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cornmeal over the top, the clams will eat it, expelling any sand and grit.
3

The clams will also be plump from their meal.
4

Shuck the clams and drain the juices.
5

Remove one shell and loosen the meat from the remaining shell.
6

Place in 1 layer in a baking dish.
