Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the littleneck clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Spanish chorizo and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the minced shallots, sliced lemongrass, and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Clams and Liquid

    Pour in the water and coconut cream, then add the fresh bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Steam the Clams

    Add the clams to the pot, cover with a lid, and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with remaining lemongrass or herbs if desired.
