This is one of my favorite recipes. Growing up, my mom made it for me for every birthday! The flavor of the clams and the lemon all in a buttery butter sauce is just delicious. You should give it a try! It is an easy recipe as well. Snow's chopped canned clams work well and are what we usually use.
