Grilled "steamed" clams

So, I am hanging out with my parents this week....enjoying a small town and loving Wegmans, particularly their farm-raised little neck clams.

1. Rinse clams well in cold water; discard any that are broken or open.

2. Prepare a grill. Arrange the clams on a rack. Cook just until the shells open, about 5 to 10 minutes. (I threw a small wet towel over them to create more steam.)
3. Serve the clams in the shells, with bowls of , melted butter, lemon, and hot pepper sauce, if desired.

4. If they do not open, do not eat them.
