Preparing clams, or other seafoods, is very easy. However, since most people don’t cook seafoods everyday, sometimes it is unclear how to prepare it. Nevertheless, if you make sure you have fresh and high quality clams it is just a matter of cooking them until the shells open. Serve the dish with rice, noodles or toasted bread!
