To prepare the steamed clams chorizo and tequila recipe, first you will need to prepare your ingredients. First, you'll need a steamer to boil the water. Then, add the salt, pepper, and garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Next, remove the pan from the heat and add in the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, put the lid on the pot and allow it to steam for 10 to 15 minutes, or until all the liquid has evaporated. After the steaming time is up, take the saucepan off the stove and set it aside to cool.
