Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Place the clams in a bowl of cold water with a tablespoon of salt. Let them soak for about 20 minutes to help purge any sand. Rinse thoroughly under cold water.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Mince the garlic and shallots. Chop the parsley and zest the lemon. Set aside all prepared ingredients.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallots, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Clams

    Add the cleaned clams to the pot. Pour in the white wine and add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 5

    Steam the Clams

    Cover the pot with a lid and let the clams steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.

  4. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Once the clams are cooked, remove from heat. Squeeze the lemon juice over the clams and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
