Method
Preparation Steps
Clean the Clams
Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Scrub the shells with a brush if necessary.
Shuck the Clams
Using a shucking knife, carefully open the clams, discarding the top shell. Place the clams on a serving platter with the bottom shell intact.
Prepare the Topping
In a small bowl, mix together the crushed garlic, olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Serve
Garnish the platter with lemon wedges and serve immediately, allowing guests to squeeze fresh lemon juice over the clams.
