Saucy Clams and Shrimp with Wild Mushrooms Recipe

Saucy Clams and Shrimp with Wild Mushrooms Recipe

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps thickly sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 bunch scallions, white and light-green parts only
  • 1 large hot red chile, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
  • 1 1/4 cups dry, fruity white wine
  • 1 pound shelled and deveined medium shrimp
  • Crusty bread, for serving
  1. In a large deep skillet, heat the extra-virgin olive oil until shimmering. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the scallions and chile and cook for 2 minutes, until just softened.
  2. Add the clams and wine and cook uncovered, stirring, until half of the clams are opened, about 4 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until all of the clams are open and the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 4 minutes longer. Serve in deep bowls with crusty bread to sop up the sauce.
