Instant Pot Clams Recipe
Clams are often a treat enjoyed at your favorite restaurant or a seaside getaway, but they’re surprisingly easy to make at home, especially with an Instant Pot. Try them with a delicate white wine and lemon juice dressing for a gourmet dinner anytime. Serve as an appetizer or over rice or pasta for a complete meal.
Equipment
- Instant pot
Ingredients
- ½ cup melted Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 cup White wine
- 2 lb Clams cleaned
- ½ cup Lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Press the "Sauté" button on your Instant Pot and add the melted butter.

Notes
- Remember to thoroughly clean your clams before cooking.

- You can reduce the butter to ¼ cup or substitute it with olive oil.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, use a cornstarch slurry to thicken it after cooking.
