Steps:
- In a large skillet (that has a lid), melt 2-1/2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.
- Add clams and remaining butter. Cover and steam until clams have opened (about 7-8 minutes). Occasionally shake skillet while steaming.
- Discard any clams that do not open. Sprinkle evenly with parsley and garnish with lemon wedges, if desired. Serve with a french baguette or over a bed of cooked pasta.
LITTLENECK CLAMS WITH OIL AND GARLIC
Fresh littleneck clams are simmered in a basil-garlic broth which gently steams them open and infuses them with flavor. The sauce is amazing so make sure to serve it with the clams. This recipe can be served as an entree (over pasta) or appetizer (with bread). If you can't get littleneck clams you can substitute cherrystone. They are larger but will work just as well.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook until just light golden brown, about one minute. Do not let it burn. Add the clams, clam juice, fresh basil, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and let simmer until the clams open, about 8-9 minutes. Remove and discard any clams that do not open. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the clams and sauce to a wide bowl and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with bread to sop up the juices or serve over pasta. Recipe Source: Adapted from Quitos Restaurant, Bristol, R.I.

STEAMED CLAMS WITH GARLIC-PARSLEY BUTTER AND LEEKS
These beautiful clams are strongly flavored with the same kind of garlicky emerald-green butter that's used on escargots, also known as snail butter. It's just three ingredients - butter, garlic and parsley - so how you handle them matters: For an intense green color, use a food processor to chop the parsley as finely as possible. This is meant to be a small first course, just four or five clams per person, but feel free to increase the quantities for larger servings or to serve as a main course.

Steps:
- Make the garlic butter: Combine butter, parsley and garlic in a food processor. Whiz until bright green and well incorporated, about 1 minute. Season lightly with salt and pepper. (You may make the garlic butter in advance and refrigerate it for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks, but it tastes best freshly made.)
- Set a wide, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add olive oil and swirl to coat. Add leeks, stir to coat, and cook for 30 seconds, then add clams and wine.
- Turn heat to high, cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until all clams have opened. With a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer clams to individual bowls.
- In the same skillet, over medium heat, add lime zest, lime juice and butter, and let simmer briefly, about 30 seconds, until warmed through. Pour sauce over clams, garnish with lime wedges and serve.
