Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shellfish

    Rinse the mussels or clams under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt. Discard any shells that are open or damaged.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the Tomatoes and Wine

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and dry white wine, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shellfish

    Add the prepared mussels or clams to the pot. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shells have opened. Discard any shells that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
