MUSSELS, CLAMS AND SHRIMP IN SPICY BROTH
I found this recipe by Giada De Laurentiis on foodtv.com. I have never made mussels or clams and I was delighted with the results. Do not omit the basil, I think it adds a lot to this recipe and make sure you have the warm, crusty bread to dip in the broth!

MUSSELS AND CLAMS WITH SPICY TOMATO BROTH
A spicy, brothy bowl of mussels and clams is at home in any season. Serve it with thick slices of crusty baguette, toasted and rubbed with raw garlic, for a sensational, simple meal any day of the week. This broth gets its heat from both fresh red peppers like Fresno or serrano chiles, and a dose of pinched red pepper flakes. You control the heat by what kind of pepper you choose - Fresno for subtle heat or serrano for a spicier edge. The wine, however, is not optional. Pinot grigio, both for cooking and drinking, is this broth's best bet.
