1
Cleaning the Clams
Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Scrub the shells with a brush to ensure they are clean.
2
Soaking the Clams
Soak the clams in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes to help them expel any remaining sand.

3
Sautéing
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Adding Clams
Add the cleaned and soaked clams to the skillet. Stir to combine with the garlic and butter.
5
Cooking the Clams
Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.
6
Finishing Touches
Once the clams are cooked, add the lemon juice, chopped parsley, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
