This dish was absolutely fabulous! I did alter the recipe somewhat to include scallops and shrimp as well, and added one minced shallot to the garlic and olive oil. I will definitely make this one again! - 04 Aug 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Good stuff. I make it a little hotter by adding hot sauce and crushed red pepper. When the store is out of mussels, I have substituted little neck clams. - 09 Jul 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Very good and flavourful I added about 4 crushed cloves of garlic as I like it garlicky. Otherwise I followed recipe exactly. thanks - 04 Jun 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
