Cowboy has a delicious recipe for Zesty Lemon-Shallot Grilled Clams that make a perfect entrée or side-dish depending on the size of your appetite.
These flavorful clams take just a few minutes to prepare and are a great addition to your grill menu this season! One thing to note is the lemon-shallot butter can be made up to four days in advance of grilling the clams. If you prepare it in advance, remove from the refrigerator and allow the butter to come to room temperature before serving alongside the grilled clams.

Enjoy the flavors of the open range. Across the western frontier, chuck wagon chefs grilled over aromatic wood fires and created “cowboy cuisine.” Our sauces descend from those heritage recipes. They enhance grilled food rather than overpower it. Pair with beef, pork, and poultry, and everything in between.
