leftover mussels???

Desert Filly

So, Randy and I had mussel scampi last night. A little more than we could eat. So, I got the meat out of the remaining shells...about 1 pound. NOW...what do I do with it? I thought about a mussel chowder? Any other ideas?

I would add them to some linguine, or maybe fettuccine with alfredo. Assuming they are already seasoned with garlic from the scampi I think that would be a good mix.

You could also do a mussels primavera. Or make a frutti del mare.

Of course, the chowder idea sounds good too.

mussel pizza?

Kim,

We love mussels and often have leftovers.

Do one of our favorites - seafood pizza. Add a few shrimp, a scallop or two, and if you are into anchovies as we are, a few of those. Lots of fresh herbs, red onion, and your choice of cheeses (for us, fontina, mozza and a touch of grana padano. You can use a marinara sauce too, but we just add a touch here and there of tomato paste. Oh, and some dry crushed red pepper just for fun.

Wish we were there for the pizza bake.
