Shellfish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Shellfish

    In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, mussels, clams, and scallops. Rinse them under cold water to remove any debris and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 3

    Add Shellfish

    Add the prepared shellfish to the skillet. Pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Stir to combine.

  3. 4

    Simmer

    Cover the skillet and let the shellfish cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels and clams have opened and the shrimp is pink and opaque. Discard any shellfish that do not open.

  4. 5

    Finish with Herbs

    Once cooked, sprinkle the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper over the shellfish. Stir gently to combine.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the shellfish hot in bowls, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Pair with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
