  1         tablespoon  sherry -- (1 to 2)

Preparation:

To find your main ingredient, run your toes through the wet sand just above the line where the waves are breaking. Coquinas are usually so plentiful you should scoop up a quart or two in no time. Collect several quarts of live coquinas. Rise well to remove algae or debris. Cover in a pail with 1/2" water. Add pepper, a little butter and a tablespoon or two of sherry. Boil for 5 minutes. Strain out the shells and serve the broth. Delicious as a tasty soup stock or base for other dishes.
