Ingredients
- 2 tbsp - Live clams, washed
- 3 tbsp - Butter
- 1 Large onion, chopped
- 1 Garlic clove, chopped
- ½ cup - White wine
- 1 tbsp - El Yucateco Green Habanero Sauce
- ½ cup - Breadcrumbs

Preparation
- Preheat your smoker to 300 F.
- In a large saucepan, soften the onion and garlic in butter over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Add white wine and bring to a boil. Add clams, cover and simmer until all clams are open, about 5 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the clams from the broth and let cool.
- Bring the remaining cooking broth to a boil and reduce until about ¼ cup of liquid remains. Remove from heat, add Green Habanero hot sauce, breadcrumbs, cheeses and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove clams from their shells, saving half of the shells for serving.
- Coarsely chop the clams and add them to the cheese mixture.
- Divide the stuffing evenly into the shells and place them on a baking sheet.
- Smoke the stuffed clams for about 20 minutes until cheese is melted and clams are warm and smoky. Drizzle with Green Habanero hot sauce to taste and serve.
