Chorizo Linguini With Mussels and Shrimp image

Fresh seafood, crusty bread, pasta, a rich broth, how much better can you get! Saucy, spicy, fresh and pasta. All of my favorites all in one. Make sure to serve this in a large bowl so you get plenty of sauce and good fresh crusty grilled bread to soak up all that great broth. Serve with a fresh salad and you have a perfect dinner.

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 Full Servings, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb linguine (or spaghetti)
3 chorizo sausage links, approximately 1 lb (Mexican with the casing removed and sauteed, Mexican is soft with casing whereas Spanish is the hard)
3 lbs mussels, cleaned and rinsed (the mussels I get from either my grocery store or seafood store are already cleaned, I just rinse co)
2 lbs shrimp, peeled, tails removed and deveined
1 cup fennel, cut in half and then thin sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
4 shallots, minced
2 (15 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes (I like the one with basil & oregano if possible or any Italian seasoning)
1 1/3 cups white wine
1 1/3 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
3 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Chorizo -- In a very large saute pot heat to medium / medium high and add the olive oil and chorizo. Sauté until the chorizo is done and make sure to break it up as it cooks. It should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
  • Vegetables -- After you remove the chorizo, reserve just 1 teaspoon of the drippings to cook your vegetables inches The rest, please discard. Add the shallots, garlic and fennel and cook 3-4 minutes, just until slightly tender and has absorbed the flavors from the chorizo.
  • Sauce -- Then to the same pot, add the wine to deglaze and cook just a minute. Then add in the chicken broth, tomatoes, the chorizo, salt and pepper and simmer 3-4 minutes.
  • Seafood -- To the rich tomato broth, add the mussels (don't forget, if the mussels are not closed, tap on the counter, if they don't close -- toss them out, they are bad), and cook until half way about 4 minutes. Then add the shrimp on top but make sure they are submerged in the broth, and cook another 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and begin to curl. Don't overcook.
  • Pasta -- As the seafood broth cooks, cook the pasta according to package directions.
  • Finish -- Once the pasta is done, drain and toss with the seafood broth, cilantro (save some for a garnish), parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper (to taste).
  • NOTE: Go easy on the salt, mussels have a salty sea taste as does the chicken broth and tomato sauce, so taste as you go. You can always add more at the end of cooking.
  • Serve -- In a large bowl so you get plenty of the sauce - Good crusty grilled bread, topped with a little store bought pesto or with my anchovy butter to dip with the mussels and shrimp. Absolutely Heavenly!
  • Garnish with some fresh lemon wedges or lemon slices if you like.

The mussels were a bit gritty, but the rest of the dish was delicious. I would definitely make this again, but I would be sure to clean the mussels more thoroughly next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chorizo if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chorizo and linguini were delicious, and the mussels and shrimp were cooked perfectly.

This was a great weeknight meal. It was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a pre-cooked chorizo sausage to save time, and it turned out great.
