Ingredients
olive oil
salt
black pepper
green or black olives
garlic, sliced
fresh parsley, chopped
lemon juice and wedges
Cherrystone, Littleneck, or Manilla clams
baby shrimp, out of the shell
squid
Preparation
Soak the clams in cold water until they release sand. Steam the clams until they open and remove them from their shells, discarding any that haven’t opened. Strain them and set aside broth.
In 2 separate pots, steam the shrimp and the squid until they are white and tender. Mix the clams, shrimp, and squid in enough olive oil to moisten well and place them in a bowl with the sliced garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add some reserved clam broth and serve cold with lemon wedges and olives.
