Looking for something to do with those left over steamed mussels you couldn’t finish the night before? Why not incorporate them into a breakfast meal.
1CUP cooked mussels 5-6 eggs 1/4CUP milk half small red onion sliced 3-4 mushrooms sliced 2-3 cloves of garlic 1/4CUP cheese (we used Swiss, Mozzarella & Provolone) salt pepper little oil for your pan green onion (optional, to sprinkle on top)
I like to use a 10inch skillet for this. It’s going to go in the oven so you need a pan that can go in the oven. Fry up your onions, garlic, mushrooms, salt and pepper til soft. Beat your eggs with the milk, some salt pepper. Once eggs are beaten well add in your mussels and stir in.Now pour in your egg and mussels in the pan making sure the mussels get spread out evenly. I cook on a med heat for just a couple minutes.
Then pop in preheated 350 degree oven for about 30minutes til egg is done. At the 20minute mark you can top with some cheese and sliced green onion and continue cooking. You can also throw it under the broiler for the last couple minutes to get a nice color on the top. Which I much prefer but the kids do not! We enjoyed this. We served it on toast, feeds 4-6. Let us know what you think.
We were playing with some flavors getting ready for a Mother’s Day Seafood Feast. Instead of your typical Cajun Seafood Boil. We call this a Cajun Seafood Steam as everything was steamed together!
2LBS mussels 10-12 prawns shell on 3 large smokies or sausages 3 corn on cob (cut into 5 pieces each) 1 large potato cubed 1/2CUP white wine salt pepper Sauce: 1/2CUP butter 2TBSP each cajun spice fresh cilantro green onion & diced garlic 1TBSP each Sriracha garlic chili sauce lime juice 1TSP crushed chili’s 1 jalapeno cut in quarters
We used a large Cast Iron Pan with lid to steam everything but feel free to use a pot, whichever you prefer.
Put the mussels, smokies, and corn along with the wine and salt and pepper in pan. Cover, put on med high heat and let steam 3-4 minute’s. We then take out smokies cut them, put them back in and add potatoes also. Before closing the lid we sprinkle a little cajun spice over everything. Steam low heat it potatoes are done should take about 5 minutes.
While that’s steaming you can get a little pot on the stove and make your cajun sauce. Add all your sauce ingredients, bring to a boil then reduce heat immediately to a simmer for about 2-4 minute’s. Add in half your sauce and stir well. Top with the raw shrimp, cover and steam til shrimp are cooked takes about 2 minutes. Add remaining sauce and mix well again.
Lay some news paper out on the table and dump it all out for everyone to dig in. If you have a large serving platter can use that also. Of course you can slop it on individual plates, but that’s not as fun hehehe. Let us know what you think of this one! I know we devoured it, fast.
These are becoming a favorite around here! They are great with any kinda of open shellfish.
10-12 large Mussels 2CUPS cooked rice vermicelli noodles 1TSP each of Sriracha Garlic Chili Sauce Sweet chili sauce lime juice Hoisin sauce sesame oil fish sauce & Oyster sauce 2-3 thai Chili’s (optional) 1/4CUP green onions sliced Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

We love mussels on a half shell! Now get your baking sheet or pan. Whatever you prefer to bake them in. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Place all your mussels in a pan. Now scoop on a good tablespoon plus of filling into the mussel. Continue til all are full.Baked 350degrees roughly 12-15minutes. Depending on your oven!Top with some sliced green onion, more chilis and chopped cilantro if you like.
We had a great day down at the beach digging clams, we dug a ton, made 3 different dishes with them. Bowl of fresh clams, soaked in water overnight, drained multiple times. 1TBSP each of oyster & hoisin sauce 1TSP each soya sauce & fish sauce Red onion, sliced thinly 3-4garlic cloves minced 4 Serrano peppers, sliced, any pepper would do 2-3 Thai chilis 10 snow peas, sliced, we slice them on a slant. Slice them any which way you want. Half lime squeezed in.
Did some picking in the garden and got a bunch of fresh basil and mint to put in as well. Would of loved to have cilantro but you make do with what you have :0). Prepped all the veggies, mixed the sauces all together in a bowl. We mix in the fresh mint, basil & some of the Thai Chili’s when it’s finished.
We like to use our cast iron wok but a frying pan works just as good. Use about a TBSP of oil, your choice. We used, vegetable oil. Get your frying pan on high heat and hot. This is going to cook up fast. Add all your veggies in Stirfry for a minute or so. Then add in your clams and cover about 2 minutes. Clams are filled with lots of water, so we drain the water out of the stirfry after cooking them, add in the sauces, squeeze of lime, cook another minute then they are done. Take off heat, stir in remaining chilis, and the fresh basil, & mint.We had dug a wack of clams, we made 3 dishes with them. They were delicious!! Hope you enjoy the recipe as much as we did.
We love jazzing up regular ol noodles. Anyone else do that? Great way to use up whatever left over veggies you have in the fridge as well. Really anything goes in here from your favorite type of noodle soup to veggies to your protien. Everytime we make this, it is literally never the same. Today we are using a Lucky Me brand of noodles Chili & Lime Flavour noodles X2 or more depending on how many noodles you like to eat. This feeds atleast four people. Pound of fresh clam Crab legs Prawns 10-15 Mushrooms of your choice, we used two different kinds 2 Serrano peppers sliced 1 jalapeno sliced Thai Chilis diced Green onion cut in 1″ pieces Bunch of garlic and ginger cut and or minced. We like bigger chunks, so we don’t cut up as much Sliced limes 2TBSP Homemade garlic chili oil 1TBSP Garlic butter or oil of your choice 1TBSP each fish sauce & soya sauce 2TBSP cornstarch Really anything goes here you can omit what you don’t want, add what you like. Make your noodles how you like.
Coat the prawns & crab legs in cornstarch. We like to use our large cast iron wok for this, it holds a lot. You can also use a skillet with high sides on it too. Get your pan hot, add in your garlic butter and your prawns. Fry high heat couple minutes per side til done, remove from pan immediately.
Add your garlic chili oil to wok and your crab legs. Cook, med high heat. Stirring frequently for 2-3minutes. Then remove from pan also.
Add in a little more oil to pan if needed. Then add in your garlic, ginger, jalapenos, Serranos, Chilis, Mushrooms. Reserving some jalapenos, Chilis and green onions to throw on-top when done. Cook over med heat for a minute or two. While that is cooking, cook your noodles as per the package states in another pot. Add in your clams, stir, cover for about 2-4 minutes. Then add in your noodles soup, everything including juices, soya sauce, & fish sauce.
Add in your crab and prawns, mix well, I bring that just to a boil. Then shut it off and remove pan from burner. Get ready to serve that into large bowls. Wedge of lime on side to squeeze in.
Your guests will never know you used a package of noodles ;0) enjoy!
