Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan. Pour beer in and fill to 1 to 2 inches below the bottom of the steamer. Add clams to the steamer insert, cover, and bring to a boil.
Step 2
Steam until the top clams barely open, 3 to 5 minutes; do not overcook or clams will become tough and rubbery.
Step 3
While clams are steaming, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add parsley and garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Ingredients
½ cup butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 pounds clams in shell, scrubbed
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer, or as needed
