Recipe Summary Gluten-Free Fried Clams

Came up with this easy, gluten-free recipe to tame my craving for fried clams. They came out every bit as good as I remember having at seafood restaurants before my Celiac diagnosis. I like them with French fries, lemon or lime wedges, and tartar sauce or seafood cocktail sauce. Yum!

Ingredients | Gluten Free Chicken Ala King

48 littleneck clams, shucked and drained

1 cup 2% milk

½ cup gluten-free all purpose baking flour

½ cup masa harina

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

oil for frying

Directions

Place shucked clams in a small bowl. Pour in milk; toss clams gently with a fork to cover evenly. Let soak in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Combine flour, masa harina, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a plastic container with a lid. Seal container and shake to blend flour mixture.

Remove clams one at a time from the milk and place in the flour mixture; shake gently to coat. Shake off excess flour and place on a plate.

Heat 3/4 inch oil in a large saucepan or deep-fryer. Fry clams in small batches until golden brown and crispy, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.

Reserve clam juice for another use if you like.
