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

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.

    I never write reviews but I have made this many times for many people and ALWAYS have people ask for the recipe. I don't use the clams (just a personal choice and I use fire roasted tomatoes. I thicken it a little with a rue of basic flour and some of the broth and serve it over angel hair. One of my favorites from this site.

    DELICIOUS! A added tilapia when I put the shrimp in to make it a little more filling for my big husband. Also added butter to the sauce and more pepper flakes for extra flavor. The next time I make it I might try added linguini pasta. DEF recommend this recipe!!

    Followed this recipe to the letter. It was terrible with little to no flavor.
