Notes
- One issue you may run into your first time is where to get large clam shells. What you may need to do is purchase stuffed clams from your local grocery store, either fresh or frozen, to get the shells you need. After that the shells can be used over and over again.
- After these are made they can be put in the freezer, then thawed and baked at a later time.
