Discard the garlic and parsley stalks.
Add the clams, lower the flame, and cover.
Cook for about 8 minutes or until all the clams are open. Remove the clams from the pan, and discard any unopened ones.
At this point start cooking the pasta in boiling salted water.
Add a tablespoon of bisque together with a ladle of pasta water.
Mix well.
Remove half of the clams from the shell and add them to the pan. Keep the best-looking ones for decoration.
Cook the pasta a minute less than indicated and add it to the sauce.
Mix well, finish it off with freshly ground pepper and fresh parsley.
Serve with the shelled clams and a king prawn on top.
Enjoy.
