Clams with prawn sauce

Method

Submerge the clams in the sparkling water for 10 minutes, which will remove any sand left on them, then clean with water and dry well. Heat the oil and add the minced garlic, once browned add the clams, and when these begin to open add the brandy, cook for a few seconds and add the prawn sauce, cook for 1 minute longer and then serve on the plate with the sauce.
