Steamed Clams Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Clams

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

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallots, and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Clams and Wine

   Add the rinsed clams to the pot. Pour in the white wine and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   Steam the Clams

   Cover the pot with a lid and increase the heat to high. Steam the clams for about 5-7 minutes or until they have opened up.

5. 5

   Finish and Serve

   Once the clams are opened, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve the clams in bowls with lemon wedges on the side.
