I learned how to cook mussels for the first time! This is where I learned how to clean them: http://allrecipes.com/howto/cleaning-mussels/
Directions:
- Cooked the pasta noodles al dente. Rinse under cold water immediately to prevent overcooking and set aside.
- Meanwhile, boil water in a medium pot, add 1 garlic clove and all the green beans. Boil until cooked, then strain and set aside.
- Meanwhile during cooking the pasta and beans... In a large pan, add 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tbsp butter, 1 clove of garlic and 1/2 of diced shallot. Saute until garlic browned, then add shrimp. Once shrimp cooked, remove shrimp.
- In the same pan, add an addition 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tbsp butter, 1 clove of garlic & rest of diced shallot. Saute until garlic browned, then add scallop. fry until cooked (about 3-5 minutes), then set aside.
- In the same pan, add additional 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tbsp butter, 1 clove of garlic. Add mussels to pan, cover mussel with butter garlic mixture. add 1/3 cup water and bring to a simmer, cook covered for 5 minutes.
- Once mussels cooked, add the basil, tomatoes, green beans, shrimp, scallops to the pan. Salt and pepper as desired. Once mixture is cooked, it's time to eat!
