Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (1kg) Manila clams or little neck clams
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 7 oz (200g) 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.

Notes

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