Elevate your appetizer game with our irresistible clam dip recipe with the perfect amount of clams, a scoop of cream cheese to mellow out the flavor, and hot sauce to give it a kick! It's the absolute best combination of flavors that will knock your socks off!
In a food processor, add all the ingredients, except the clams and pulse just a couple of times to combine. It doesn't need to be completely mixed in at this point.
In a shallow pan on medium-high heat, drizzle oil and cook razor clams for about 10 seconds on each side. Reserve the juice from cooking the clams to add to the dip. Place each razor clam into the food processor as it's done cooking.
Pour in any leftover raw razor clam liquid into the pan and cook for a minute. (If no juice see note below)
Use the cooked razor clam juice to add to the food processor and blend until clams are finely chopped, not too much!
Scoop the dip into a serving bowl and set in the fridge to chill until ready to serve. Enjoy with plain tortilla chips.

Notes
Recipe Notes:
If you don't have clam juice in your clam package: add ¼ cup of water to olive oil and bring to a boil, then cook the clams in it. Use the liquid from that in replacement.
