Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Clams

1. Open the Clams: Carefully open the clams, reserving the best 2 dozen shells for stuffing.

Step 2: Prepare the Shells

1. Layer the Pan: Spread a layer of rock salt in the bottom of a pie pan.
2. Place Shells: Push the reserved clam shells into the rock salt, ensuring they are stable and upright.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, fry the bacon until all the fat is rendered, but do not fry it until crisp.
2. Drain and Chop: Place the cooked bacon on paper towels to drain excess fat, then finely chop it into pieces.

Step 4: Prepare the Butter Mixture

1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the butter, chopped bacon, shallots, pimiento, green pepper, sherry wine, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce until well combined.

Step 5: Stuff the Clams

1. Fill the Shells: Place one clam into each reserved shell, then top each clam with a generous dollop of the prepared butter mixture.

Step 6: Broil the Clams

1. Preheat Broiler: Set your broiler to high heat.
2. Broil: Place the stuffed clam shells under the hot broiler and broil for 5-10 minutes or until the butter is sizzling and the bacon pieces are crisp.

2. Serve: Transfer the Clams Casino to a serving platter and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy the explosion of flavors with each succulent bite!
