Time 1h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs littleneck clams (or other small clam)
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer (something light like Sam Adams Summer Ale)
2 large garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 lemon, sliced into wedges
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
fresh ground pepper
salt

Steps:

  • Clean clams by sprinkling with corn meal, covering with cold (iced) water, and letting sit for 1-1 1/2 hours. Drain, scrub, and rinse before cooking.
  • Combine all ingredients, except clams, in a large pot.
  • Bring to slow boil over medium heat.
  • Add clams, turn up heat to medium-high, and cover.
  • Cook for 5-6 minutes, until shells are wide open.
  • Discard any clams that do not open with the others, this means they are bad.
  • Serve with broth (either poured over clams in a large bowl or for dipping in smaller bow(s). (strain through cheesecloth, if desired, to remove any remaining grit.).

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

These clams were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the broth was delicious.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The clams are cooked in no time, and the broth is so flavorful. I like to add a little bit of chopped parsley to the broth at the end for a pop of color.
