This was my submission to the April TD.

Spread out shrimp before topping with a homemade chive cream cheese and then wrapped with half cooked bacon.




One of the more time consuming parts is shucking the clams... don't have it down like my teacher did but I have gotten pretty decent.  I personally think its a crime to chop up clams... ever... for any reason.



Just dropped the crab legs into a pan with garlic, butter, the leftover bacon and parsley... all into the smoker at 250 for about 45 minutes

 
Finished shot:

 
My thoughts are that the shrimp were amazing... the crab was good but didn't take on as much smoke flavor as I would have liked, and finally the clams were real good too but I think I prefer the crisp I get from cooking them under the broiler.  Thanks for looking and for the votes!
 
Looks Great, Sport !!!

Just put a note in the last post on each one, and somebody should get rid of them---An Admin can do it.

You can get rid of content by hitting the little pencil on the bottom left, and then deleting your text, but it takes an Admin to delete the whole thread.

Nice job. For clams you are going to cook anyway. A couple hours in the freezer and they pop open easily...JJ

Thanks for the points! I use breadcrumbs mixed with some parm cheese and garlic powder then a thin slice of butter topped with the bacon... I don't half cook the bacon if I am broiling it!

Thanks, I actually do 20 mins in the freezer and then 5 on the counter and they really start to let go, the guy who taught me initially did it for a raw bar... he could keep up with a 200 person party himself!
