Clambake Leftovers: Clams in Butter with Scallions

After Saturday's clambake, there was an absurd bounty of leftovers. I took home a 3-cup container of cooked whole clam meat (thanks Mom, Emily, and Danielle for shelling the leftovers), as well as more BBQ chicken than I would usually eat in a month.

Since Chris is dead-set against eating clams that aren't breaded and deep-fried with the bellies removed, those clams were all mine. Here's what I had for lunch.

Clams in Butter with Scallions

2 1/2 cups shelled clams
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) or so of butter
2 scallions, snipped into bits

Melt butter in a skillet on medium-high. If it is unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt. Add scallions, cook until scallions are translucent, stirring frequently. Add clams, heat for about 3 minutes, stir frequently. Voila! It's ready!

I served this on a bed of brown rice. Simple and delicious.
