    Mussels & Shrimp in a Spicy Tomato Sauce

    Mussels & shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce. Onions, roasted garlic, white wine, chicken stock, Peperoncini Piccanti, spicy sausage, tomatoes, finished with green onions, lemons & parsley.

    Been too long since we’ve had mussels… we’ll be having them again soon!

    Ingredients
    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
    • ½ medium onion, Diced
    • Hot Portuguese Chouriço (approximately 6”), diced
    • 4 roasted garlic cloves, minced (or 2 raw)
    • ½ cup dry white wine 
    • ½ cup chicken (or vegetable) stock
    • 1 tablespoon Peperoncini Piccanti (chopped hot peppers in oil)
    • 1 tablespoon tomato paste 
    • 1 – 28oz can Italian tomato purée
    • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    • Kosher salt to taste
    • 2 pounds live mussels, cleaned and beards removed
    • 1 pound large wild shrimp, shell on
    For serving
    • Lemon wedges
    • ½ cup chopped green onions
    • ¼ cup finely chopped Italian parsley
    • Crusty bread
    Preparation

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

    Add the onion & sausage and cook over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the wine and cook for 1 minute, scrapping the pan clean. Add the stock, Peperoncini Piccanti, tomato paste, tomato purée and pepper and bring just to a boil.

    Cover partially and simmer over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, 15-30 minutes.

    Season the sauce with salt, pepper or Peperoncini Piccanti to taste.

    Stir in the mussels and shrimp, raise heat to medium, cover and cook until the mussels open, 4 to 6 minutes; discard any mussels that do not open.

    Sprinkle with onions & parsley and serve with lemon wedges and crusty bread.
