Right, with the cursor in the block type M-x org-babel-async-execute:clojure

You can see a commented out version for shell blocks here:
https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/jmax-org.el#L936

It looks like I just redefined the org-babel-execute:sh function after
it was loaded. That may not be recommended good practice, but it works
;)

I am not sure why it is commented out, maybe because I don't use it alot
and its not well tested.

You could always bind your own key sequence instead of C-c C-c.
