Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 1 kg pipis, cleaned

Sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup white wine
  • ½ cup cream
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon juice, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pipis: Rinse the pipis thoroughly under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Pat them dry gently with a paper towel to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a large heavy-based saucepan, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
  3. Steam Pipis: Add the cleaned pipis to the pan and pour in the white wine. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the pipis to steam for 5-7 minutes or until their shells open fully.
  4. Add Cream and Season: Stir in the cream, chopped parsley, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Simmer Sauce: Let the sauce simmer gently for a few minutes to thicken slightly and allow the flavors to meld together.
  6. Serve: Serve the garlic butter pipis hot, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges. Enjoy with crusty bread to soak up the luscious sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the pipis are thoroughly cleaned to avoid grit in the dish.
  • Do not discard any unopened shells after cooking, discard any pipis that remain closed.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a light white wine.
  • Adjust cream quantity to desired sauce richness.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor.
