Rinse the berberechos under cold water to remove sand and clean the shells.

Place the rinsed berberechos in a colander, ensuring not to overfill it to allow them to open properly.

Find a pot that fits the colander and add about 1 finger's depth of water and a pinch of salt.

Bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, place the colander with the berberechos on top of the pot and cover it.

Steam the berberechos for about 1.5 to 2 minutes until they start to open.

Check the berberechos; they should be opened and not dried out, retaining their own juices.

Remove the opened berberechos and note that the water collected can be used for flavoring, such as in rice dishes.

Strain the collected water through a cloth to remove any sand or impurities.
