1 lb cleaned razor clams | 1 tbsp paprika |
1/2 cup white wine | 2 tbsp olive oil |
1 clove garlic, diced finely | Fresh Parsley, chopped |
1 small shallot, diced finely |
This is loosely based on a meal enjoyed at the Mercado Boqueria. Razor clams are smaller in Europe. Heat a large frying pan and add the oil and paprika and allow to warm and infuse the oil with the paprika flavor. Stir frequently for about 1 minute. Add the shallots and cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine and reduce stirring frequently. When the liquid is reduced and thickened slightly add the razor clams to the pan. Cook them on one side for one minute more. Remove from the heat and add the chopped parsley and serve. For something different pair this with a Spanish Albarino wine.

Cut the razor clams into strips about 1/4" wide, so they form small bite sized pieces and set them aside for the moment. Heat a large frying pan. When the pan is hot add the oil and butter. When the butter is foamy add the paprika and shallots. Saute the shallots until they are translucent and then add the garlic and continue until the garlic is fragrant. Add the wine and reduce until the liquid has the consistency of warm honey. Add the razor clams and saute, stirring frequently for 2 minutes and turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice and stir the mixture to blend the lemon juice in. Put the pasta in a bowl and add the razor clam mixture on top. Add 1/4 of the Parmesan cheese and combine. Slowly add the Parmesan cheese in 1/4 cup increments until fully clended and serve. For something different try it with a California Chardonnay.
