Beer Steamed Clams

• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• Cook time: 5 minutes
• Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 24 Clams
• 2 Tbsp fresh Parsley, chopped
• 12 oz Beer
• chopped Garlic
• 1 stick Butter

Directions:

Place clams in the bottom of a clam steamer or deep boiling pot. Add beer. Beer level should be only 1-2 inches from kettle/pot bottom. Cover and bring beer to a boil and steam until top clams barely open (about 3-5 minutes). Do not over-cook, as clams will become undesirably tough and rubbery. Serve with garlic butter, prepared by sauteing chopped garlic and fresh parsley with a melted stick of butter.
