12 ounces fully cooked spicy sausage (such as andouille or hot links), sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (about 12 ounces)
2 tablespoons Cajun seafood seasoning
2 pounds littleneck clams, scrubbed
1 pound mussels, scrubbed, debearded
1 8-ounce bottle clam juice
1 3/4 cups diced seeded plum tomatoes (about 8 large)

  • Spoon seafood sauce over pasta. Garnish with green onions and serve.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less butter and cream if you don't like rich food.

I thought this dish was just okay. The sauce was a bit bland and the seafood was overcooked.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
