Ingredients:


2 dozen soft-shelled clams

1 pint water

1 stalk celery

1/2 cup melted butter
 

Preparation / Directions:


Scrub the clams well, rinsing in several changes of ice water to remove all the sand. Put the clams into a saucepan and add the water and celery. Cover and steam over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the shells open. Be careful not to overcook. Strain the clam broth through a cheesecloth and reheat the strained broth quickly. Serve the clams, hot, in a large deep bowl. Serve the hot clam broth and melted butter on the side, in separate bowls.
