Anyone who knows us, knows that we love incorporating shellfish into our meals. I just started learning to cook mussels, clams, etc. within the last couple of years. This recipe for Clam Linguine is so simple. Likely, you’ll have all of the ingredients at home already!

With just a few ingredients, you can have an elegant meal for the entire family. The best part is, it’s incredibly quick.

Recently, we’ve been shopping at a local Asian market. They have high quality, yet affordable seafood. We were able to get a pound of little neck clams for only $6! Can’t complain about that. We also love being able to access unique ingredients to improve our Asian dishes.

If you’re looking for a place to get little neck clams, they’re usually at your local grocery stores seafood counter. Although, if you have a seafood market near by, I’d suggest taking a trip over there.

Let’s get started!
