I love this easy, tasty pasta dish. If you add a nice green salad, it is a complete meal. It can be made with mussels as well but if you can’t get good shellfish, you can make it with just shrimp. I cook the shrimp first because I like it with a sear on it and not just cooking it in the sauce, but it is up to you.
i am making this pasta dish with shrimp and clams because I couldn't find good mussels on this particular day. The only difference would be to put the clams and mussels together and wait until they open. The mussels will open first.
