Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 cup dry white wine
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
24 small Littleneck clams (about 2 1/2 pounds total), scrubbed
24 mussels (about 1 1/2 pounds total), debearded
20 large shrimp (about 1 pound), peeled, deveined, butterflied
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
Warm crusty bread

Directions

Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, bay leaf, and crushed red pepper. Saute until the garlic is tender, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer. Simmer until the tomatoes begin to break down and the flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Stir in the clams. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the mussels. Cover and cook until the clams and mussels open, about 5 minutes longer.

Using a tongs, transfer the opened shellfish to serving bowls (discard any shellfish that do not open). Add the shrimp and basil to the simmering tomato broth. Simmer until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Divide the shrimp and tomato broth among the bowls. Serve with the warm bread.

We LOVE this recipe!!

This is an amazing dinner. Full of flavor, a true favorite in our house. I use chopped clams with the juice, fresh mussels... and shrimp. We love this and crave it almost every week. Read more

Simple and tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this a couple weeks ago, and my sweetie is still talking about it, so I'm making it tonight again. I added a chunk of... halibut and some calamari. I broiled the bread and spread a little anchovy butter on the pieces. My wine guy recommended an off-dry Riesling or a Tempranillo, so I'll see how that goes! Sweetie won't be home until 7-ish, so I'm going to make the broth early, then re-heat and add seafood when he gets here. Read more

Just Like the Coast of Italy!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I just got back from a trip to Italy a month ago. We were craving this great shellfish and pasta dish that we... had while we were there. I found this and made it and we both absolutely loved it. It reminded us of the meal that we had in Italy that we loved so much. It couldn't have been easier either...and very little clean-up after!Read more

Love it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this dish twice. The first time I made it with a few clams, mussels and shrimp and a piece of halibut. It was... delicious! The second time I made it with just two pounds of mussels and a lb. of shrimp and completely forgot about the basil and everyone LOVED it! It is soooo easy!Read more

My favorite dish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love making Giada's recipes and this is by far my favorite one of them all. It's pretty easy to make and it has always... wow'd everyone that I've made it for. I like my food spicy, so I add several more table spoons of red peppers. if you can handle even a little bit of spiciness, I suggest to add a even a little more. I try to stay away from carbs, but when I make it for guests, I'll serve it over a bed of pasta. This is D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!Read more
