Steamed Clams

For many people, summertime is all about seafood: steamed clams, clambake, shrimp boil, lobster roll, etc.

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!

  1. 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?
