Easy Steamers Recipe
Steamers are the perfect summer seafood appetizer that are cooked in a garlic and white wine broth and then dipped into hot melted butter before eating.
Ingredients
- 1 lbs steamers
- 1/2 cup sweet white wine (Chablis)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 stick butter
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Fill a bowl with cold water and submerge the clams. Swirl the clam around to rinse. Once they are rinsed, remove them from the water.
- Mince the garlic
- In a large Saute Pan, add oil and minced garlic over high heat until the garlic starts to brown (approx 1 minute),
- Stir in wine and then add the clams. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the steamers.
- Toss the steamers gently (be careful not to break the steamers).
- Cover the saute pan and steam for 2 minutes (or until shells open). Once the steamers have opened, remove from the saute pan. Once all the steamers are done, take a few ladles of the broth and pour into a small bowl.
- Melt the butter over low heat until melted
- Serve the steamers on a plate with a side of melted butter and a side of clam broth.
