Grilled Clams with Basil Breadcrumbs

Directions

1. 1
   Heat a gas grill or prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals.
2. 2
   Combine the bread crumbs, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, pine nuts, salt and pepper in a large serving bowl and set aside.
3. 3
   When the grill is hot, place the clams in 1 layer on the hot grate and allow the heat to open the clams. They'll open gradually for about 5 minutes, then pop-open wide when they're done. Using tongs, remove the clams from the grill and place them in the bowl with the bread crumb mixture and toss together.
4. 4
   Drizzle with the melted butter, and serve hot.
