Paprika Clams

Clams are gorgeous little shellfish, I like these in a bowl to just pick at, rather than to have them as a large meal. But served with some interesting veg such as steamed sugar snap peas, and fennel, they make a very nice dish.

You need:
500g of clams
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
splash of white wine
paprika
knob of butter
lemon zest.
salt and pepper

The same as you would with mussels discard any clams that are open when you buy them.
Heat a pan and add the wine, vinegar, and lemon zest. Tip in the clams and allow to cook for 4-5 mins, or until opened. Turn off the heat and sprinkle on 2 tsp of the paprika and season to taste. Stir the clams around so all are coated equally.
Remove them using a slatted spoon and put into bowls. Stir the butter into the remaining liquid and pour over the clams.
