Angry Bulls Bay Clams
Ingredients:
4 pounds Bulls Bay clams (or any fresh clams)
1 tsp olive oil
2 Tbsp sliced garlic cloves
2 Tbsp roughly chopped cherry bomb peppers
2 Tbsp sliced shallots
1½ cups white wine
4 Tbsp butter
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
6 large basil leaves, torn
1½ cups cooked favorite pasta
Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions:
Rinse clams under cold water to remove any sand.
In a large sauté pan or pot with a lid, heat oil and garlic over medium heat. Sauté lightly until garlic is golden and fragrant, careful not to burn.
Add peppers, shallots, and clams. Stir, then pour in wine and butter. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook until clams open.
Uncover, add tomatoes, basil, and cooked pasta. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to dial in the "anger." Discard any unopened clams.
Divide into bowls, topping generously with clams.
