this was over the top! i dont know where to begin, i dont like manilas or steamers or littlenecks, you name it if it comes in a little shell and still has its guts attached i wont eat it. but i love any other type of seafood, this single handedly is the best seafood i have ever eaten including what i have ordered in restaurants. i didnt change a thing from the recipe, used dos equis amber and four adults devoured them. the broth was incredible, i will use this for my parties ALWAYS. it will be a hit every time, gauranteed.

Used "steamers" because I couldn't find Manila clams but came out great! The broth was delicious, the flavors were right on and not to overpowered by anything. Very easy recipe, just make sure you really clean your clams! Will definitely make again and not change a thing. Served with some crusty garlic bread...
