Wash the clams in salt water for many times. At last rinse them well.
Meanwhile mix the garlic together with parsley, olive oil and dry breadcrumbs; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Dip the clams into this mixture and grill them until golden. It's difficult to say the necessary time: it depends on many elements. Grill them until golden.
Serve them hot with a plate to put the empty shells.

Note

- It's a tasty, very particular dish. You could serve it in a summer barbecue.
