Use a bristle brush to scrub the outside of the clams. Place clams in cold water and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of salt into the bowl. Add the clams and allow to soak for 15 minutes. Remove the clams using a slotted spoon and repeat the process once more with clean water. You’ll be soaking the clams for at least 30 minutes total.
In a large skillet with a lid, heat butter over medium heat. Once butter melts, add shallot and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add clams to skillet, pour wine over the top. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until shells open. Try to refrain from removing the lid during the first 10 minutes. Shake the pan back and forth across the burner occasionally.
Carefully transfer clams and broth to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
