Preparation

1. Season the snapper with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper and place in a steamer. Pour the wine in a large pot and boil. Lower heat, place the steamer in the pot and cover tightly. Steam for 5 minutes. Place the clams around the snapper. Cover and steam until the clams open, about 5 minutes.
2. Remove the steamer from the pot and keep the snapper and clams warm. Simmer the wine until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside. Place the butter in the pot and turn the heat to low. Add the shallots and stir until softened, about 1 minute. Add the reduced wine and the cream and simmer slowly for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and remove from heat. Taste and add salt if needed.
3. Place each snapper fillet on a plate and surround with clams. Spoon some sauce over and around the snapper. Scatter the basil. Serve.
