Steps
- In a medium pot, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer and add the clams.
- Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes until clams open. Discard any that remain closed.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the steamed clams to the skillet, along with the lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat in the garlic butter.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
- Serve immediately, with crusty bread if desired to soak up the sauce.
