Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Clams
Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand and debris. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.
Add Clams
Once boiling, add the clams to the pot. Cover and steam for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the clams have opened up.
Finishing Touches
Remove the pot from heat. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the clams and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and black pepper to taste.
Serve
Transfer the steamed clams to a serving dish and enjoy while hot.
