Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Rinse the clams under cold running water to remove any sand or grit. Soak them in a bowl of fresh water for about 20 minutes to help them expel sand, then rinse again.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced shallot, stirring frequently until they are fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the white wine and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pot.

  3. 4

    Cook Clams

    Add the cleaned clams to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.

  4. 5

    Season and Garnish

    Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve immediately.
