  • 1 1/2 pounds manila clams cleaned and scrubbed
  • 1/2 cup white wine

Instructions

  • In a large skillet with a lid, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once butter melts, add shallot and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Be sure to serve this with some crusty french bread so soak up all of the yummy broth. Enjoy!
