• Add pepper and parsley; simmer 2-3 minutes. Add sherry and simmer 10-15 minute.
• Place scallops in baking dish.
• Pour cooked mixture over scallops. You should have enough mixture to barely cover scallops, if not, melt more margarine and add.

BAKED STUFFED CLAMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• In a large frying pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until translucent. Stir in clams, crab meat, parsley, lemon pepper, and bread crumbs. Reduce heat to low, and slowly pour in clam juice until mixture is slightly sticky, but not wet. The bread crumbs will continue to absorb moisture, so be careful not to add too much clam juice.
• Fill each clean clam shell with mixture, pressing tightly into shell. Arrange on a baking sheet, and sprinkle lightly with paprika. (Stuffed shells may be covered and frozen at this point for later use.)
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and sizzling. If frozen, bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until warmed through. Serve warm on a platter with lemon wedges.

STUFFED CLAMS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place clams in a large pot with water. Cover and cook over high heat until clams open, about 10 minutes. Remove from shells, there should be about 1 cup of clams. Reserve 24 shells for stuffing (you may not need all 24).
• Process clams briefly in a food processor. Do not overprocess or the clams will become liquid. You could also finely chop the clams by hand.
• Combine clams, butter, shallots, garlic, parsley, basil, bread crumbs, 6 tablespoons cheese, wine, prosciutto, pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Stuff shells with mixture and smooth top. Sprinkle remaining parmesan over top of clams and arrange them in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with olive oil.
• Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes. Run clams under broiler briefly for a final glaze.
