Ingredients
  

  • 48 littleneck clams (or 36 topneck sized clams)
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves minced

Instructions
 

  • Run the clams under cold water and scrub clean with a brush. Rinse and set aside.
  • In a large stockpot, add wine and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Gently add clams to the boiling wine, cover and steam until fully opened, about 5 minutes.

  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges and pour some of the hot broth in each bowl.
