Grilled Clams Oreganate

Directions

1. 1
   Scrub clams thoroughly and discard any that are not live - hardshell clams close their shells when tapped if they are live.
2. 2
   Place clams on grill over hot coals.
3. 3
   In a small skillet combine garlic, oregano, parsley, bread crumbs and oil; stir together to form a crumbly mixture and heat at the edge of the grill while clams are roasting.
4. 4
   When clam shells open, after about 5 minutes, lift off the top shells using mitts to protect your hands; drop a spoonful of the herbed crumbs on each clam and heat a minute or two.
5. 5
   Serve at once.
