Ingredients:  
½ lemon
5 garlic cloves, 1 whole, 4 thinly sliced
½ cup mayonnaise
Kosher salt
¼ cup plus 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
1 red chile (such as Holland or Fresno), thinly sliced, or ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Directions:
Prepare a grill for medium heat. Finely grate zest from lemon half into a small bowl, then squeeze in juice. Finely grate whole garlic clove into bowl and mix in mayonnaise. Season garlic mayo with salt and set aside.

Place a large cast-iron skillet on grill and heat ¼ cup oil in skillet. Add sliced garlic, shallots, and chile and cook, stirring often, until just softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until paste darkens slightly, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes soften and release their juices, about 4 minutes. Add wine and cook until it is almost reduced by half and no longer smells boozy, about 3 minutes.

Add clams and butter to skillet and cover (if you don’t have a lid that fits, use a sheet of foil). Cook until clams have opened, 6–10 minutes, depending on size of clams and heat level. Remove skillet from grill; discard any clams that don’t open. Sprinkle with chives.

Meanwhile, drizzle bread with remaining 3 Tbsp. oil and season lightly with salt. Grill until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Serve clams with toasted bread and reserved garlic mayo.
