I DID look for the recipe Ruthanna, so thanks for posting it. I found some clams casino recipes and figured it was something like a clams casino "deconstructed." What fascinates me is that yellow rice. I have to find a good recipe for that, since BF got a 10 LB bag of rice for Christmas from his stepson.

I have all the ingredients too, to make it. Maybe I will do it sometime while I am home in Allentown. Just a week and a half more.

Thanks for the recipe, Ruthanna! I love shrimp and can't wait to try this recipe!

I thought yellow rice was just white rice with saffron added to the cooking water.

I'd love to make Shrimp Casino, but Kevin won't eat bacon. Would turkey bacon work? I could cook it in duck fat to make up for the lack of pork fat.

I did it ! It was awesome, my whole family really enjoyed the dish. Thanks much.

That's how I made my yellow rice last night, added saffron to it, just a tad. Boy, it did not taste good. I wonder if saffron goes bad? I didn't think it did.

Lars, that would probably work. Many Clams Casino recipes also use oregano, bread crumbs and/ or Parmesan cheese but I didn't detect them in the restaurant dish so didn't use them.

Peterorl, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Lpink, there was recently a saffron thread on here. Edited to add link to it.

Here is a link that might be useful: saffron thread

Thanks for the recipe, I just made for supper tonight, but forgot to take pic, I don't have shallot and red pepper at home but I don't want to use onion so I replaced with leeks and green pepper, it sure taste good :) , next time I will use red sweet pepper.
And I sauted cooked white rice with minced garlic seasoned with a little salt.

Thanks for posting the recipe Ruthanna, I'm going to give it a try this fortnight :)
