Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 12-ounce bottle pale lager
5 pounds hard-shell clams (such as littlenecks), scrubbed
Lemon halves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Bring beer to a boil in a large heavy pot. Add clams. Cover pot, reduce heat to medium, and steam clams until they open, 6-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer clams to a large bowl or platter (discard any that do not open). Serve with lemon halves.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh clams: Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any clams that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Use a sturdy pot: A large pot or Dutch oven is best for steaming clams. Make sure it has a lid that fits tightly to keep the steam in.
  • Use a flavorful beer: The type of beer you use will affect the flavor of the clams. A light beer will produce a delicate flavor, while a dark beer will give the clams a richer flavor.
  • Add aromatics to the pot: Aromatics such as garlic, onion, and celery will add flavor to the clams. You can also add herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
  • Steam the clams until they are just cooked through: Overcooked clams will be tough and chewy. Clams are done steaming when they open up. Discard any clams that do not open.
  • Serve the clams immediately: Steamed clams are best served immediately. You can serve them with melted butter, lemon wedges, and crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Steamed clams are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They are perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a delicious plate of steamed clams that will impress your friends and family.
