This is what I’ll be serving for Christmas Eve dinner, SEAFOOD FRA DIAVOLO WITH ANGEL HAIR PASTA. You can also check out my Linguine & Clam recipe for another option. Hope you’ll save and give my recipe a try!
12–15 mussels, Place the mussels in a colander in the sink and run water over them, using your hands or a clean scrubbing brush to rub off any debris like seaweed, sand, barnacles, or mud spots that could be on the shell. . If you find any mussels with open shells, lightly tap that mussel against the side of the sink. If the mussel closes up again in response to this turmoil, it's alive. If it doesn't move, discard it.
