Grilled Clams with Chorizo for Summer BBQ Party #SundaySupper
Who doesn’t love a Summer BBQ Party!!! The bevvies, appys, BBQ, sides and desserts. All this deliciousness around you celebrating summer!! I love it!! Today for you I decided to make Grilled Clams with Chorizo, all wrapped up in individual packets. Perfect for serving and no fuss, no mess!!
This is such a delicious combination of flavors. Opening up that packet and smelling the aroma of clams, wine, chorizo, garlic and butter. It is like a little slice of heaven. These would be perfect for company as they are easy to build, easy to serve and easy for cleanup. You could make smaller packages for an appetizer even.
Try these scrumptious packages at your next cook out. They would work on a open fire too!!
The Recipe
Grilled Clams with Chorizo for Summer BBQ Party #SundaySupper
A savory and spicy combination of surf and turf all wrapped up in an easy foil packet for barbecuing!!
Ingredients
- 12 clams for each packet (36 for three servings)
- 1 tsp. Kosher salt
- Fresh ground pepper
- Olive oil
- 2-3 cooked Chorizo sausage
- 1/2 onion, finely diced
- 1/2 red pepper, finely diced
- 1/2 tsp. garlic paste in each package
- 2 oz. white wine in each package
- 1/2 Tbsp. butter for each package
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Make three foil packets using about 2' by 2' of foil. Fill each with 12 clams, 1/3 tsp salt, pepper, drizzle of olive oil, 1/3 of the sausage, onion and red pepper. Mix the 2 oz. of white wine with the garlic paste and add to each package. Top with a dab of butter.
- Fold the foil up tightly to form a packet. Heat the BBQ to medium (375F) and put the packages on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 10-12 min. Shake each pouch gently after 7 min. and continue to cook. Alternatively cook on an open fire grill, shaking gently every few minutes.
- Open up packages and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread or buns for dipping.
Look at all the deliciousness for our Summer BBQ Party. I can’t wait to visit them all and I hope you do too!!!

I adore grilling in foil packets – it makes everything so much easier – easy cleanup, and you can personalize what you put in each one. These clams look absolutely delicious and I hope you’ll swing by my recipe link party The Yuck Stops Here sometime after 8pm Tuesday evening and share them with my friends there. I’m sure they’ll be a hit. You can always find us on my blog Hot Momma’s Kitchen Chaos. HUGS

Ala says
Why hello hello! It’s so nice to see you over here from Sunday Supper 🙂 I love the feel of your blog already. And this recipe! I’ll be honest: I’ve never really eaten clams, except in clam chowder (and usually we’d spit those out–my mom is allergic to shellfish and the rest of us really aren’t used to the taste!) However, I can totally see myself making this recipe if I was looking for an easy way to impress. Thanks for sharing it–and it’s great to meetcha!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks Ala, I think you may like these with the garlic, butter and chorizo!!

Wish I could pass you some through the screen Laura!!
Chelsea @ A Duck's Oven says
Funnily enough, I just had mussels with chorizo and salsa at a restaurant here in Cape Town and it was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten- I’m sure these clams are even better! I hadn’t even thought of attempting them at home 🙂 Thank you for a great recipe!
Noshing with the Nolands says
You are so welcome Chelsea, I love my shell fish!!
Martin D. Redmond says
