Clams With Smoked Paprika - cooking recipe

Ingredients

40 baby clams, in shells (also called cockels about 1 1/4 inch diameter, can use from 30-40 clams)
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 1/4 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, minced

Preparation

Scrub clean clams with water.
In a wide but shallow pan with a lid, place all ingredients except the clams and parsley and cook until butter melts in medium high heat.
Place all the clams in the same pan and gently mix in the sauce and turn the heat to high.
Cover with lid and cook only until clams open up, about 4-5 minutes. Toss any clams that do not open up.
Toss in minced parsley and serve.
