Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté until they are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Clams

    Increase the heat to high and add the rinsed clams to the skillet. Pour in the white wine and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open up.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the clams are open, remove from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately with crusty bread or over pasta.
