Steamed Clams for Two image

I came across this recipe and first thing I thought was "Not the Steamed Clams I grew up on" but thought this was a more elegant version of the steamed clams I loved eating as a kid in the summer. I haven't tried this recipe yet but can't wait to try these and surprise my family with these. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (March 1984)

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. The clams were tough and the broth was flavorless.

The clams were a bit gritty, but otherwise the dish was good.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

These steamed clams were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I made this recipe for a party and it was a huge success! Everyone loved the clams and they were gone in no time. I will definitely be making this again.

These steamed clams were delicious! The clams were tender and juicy, and the broth was flavorful and garlicky. I served them with some crusty bread to soak up all the broth.
