I love all sorts of shellfish and I am especially partial to clams. I order clam dishes at restaurants whenever they are available. Every summer, I never miss out on clams, as an appetizer or in pasta. They so briny and flavorful.

When it comes to hosting summer parties, this Beer Steamed Clams recipe fits the bill. First of all, it calls for beer as the main ingredient. It just doesn’t get better than this. Secondly, steaming is the best way to cook clams as it takes practically 10 minutes from prep to finish.

I love Manila clams for this recipe, but you can use littleneck clams, soft shell clams or other similar clams. Serve these clams with more beer, enjoy!

Calories 242 kcal

Ingredients

2 lbs Manila clams or little neck clams
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
2 cloves garlic minced
7 fl. oz beer
Ground black pepper
3 slices lemon
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

Clean and scrub the clams with cold water. Drain and set aside.
Set up a skillet with the butter, add the garlic and saute until aromatic or light brown in color. Add the clams, stir a few times before adding the beer. Add the pepper, lemon and chopped parsley. Stir to combine well.
Cover the lid of the skillet and steam on high heat for 2-3 minutes, or until all the clams open up. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

As clams are naturally briny, you don't need salt. If your beer broth is not salty enough, add a pinch of salt.

Looks yummy! Cant wait to lay my hands on these clams and start cooking!
By the way, we still need to de-sand them first right? Eg soaking in cold water with salt or parsley?

  Yeah, you can. The clams we get in USA has no sands so I don’t soak them.
