This is a summertime 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.

Method
Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking.
Place clams in a large cast-iron or ovenproof skillet.
Add beer, shallot, butter, lemon juice and salt.
Arrange the skillet on the grill grates and close the grill lid.
Steam until clams have opened, 5 to 7 minutes. Discard any unopened clams.
Serve clams from the skillet, or pour clams and cooking liquid into a large deep platter or serving bowl.
