Author's Notes
Adding a pinch of chili flakes or a squeeze of lemon while serving will bring a boost to the overall flavor of the dish.
Be sure to use the freshest clams you can find for this dish. And be extra mindful of discarding unopened clams to avoid food poisoning.
Discard any clams that do not close or are broken before cooking.
