Garlic Butter Sauteed Clams – Easy Recipe for Seafood Lovers
Shellfish has always been a favourite food of mine. If I were to see clams or mussels pot (recipe coming up soon!) on the menu, it would be on my must-order list.
I usually like clams sauteed, stir-fried or cooked in stew. Best would be the kind in a flavourful broth such that at the end of the meal I could use a piece of bread to soak up the leftover broth – what a joy!
That said, clams are easy to cook, but the preparation requires a bit of work.
You need to check your clams:
In ensuring your clams are clean, soak them in cold salt water for one, two hours or longer so that they can release the sand within the shells. After which, scrub the shells to remove any impurities.
To be on the safe side, discard any shells which are already opened (they should all be closed when you buy them from the markets!). You never know because one bad shell might just make your whole dish goes wrong.
Now you are ready to whip up a delicious meal 🙂
Simple ingredients you need:
- A large bowl of clams (20 = 1 servings)
- Silken Tofu
- 1 Garlic
- 1 slab of butter
- Oil (Substitute for olive oil as a healthier choice)
Let’s get started!
- Heat up the oil in a non-stick pan
- Add garlic and fried till a light golden brown
- Add butter and let it melts
- Pour in the clams
- Let it simmers for about five minutes. You can stir it occasionally.
By then, you should be smelling the deliciousness coming out of the pan… !
As for the silken tofu, the steps are even more simplier and takes about three minutes.
- Heat up some water in a pan
- Add silken tofu
- Let the water boils for a while and use the ladle to poke the tofu to ensure that they have gotten softer
- Combine the cooked tofu with clams
Ta-dah, there’s my Garlic Butter Sauteed Clams!
AND SERVE!
