Directions
-
- Step 1Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add chorizo and shallot and cook until shallot is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, saffron, and red-pepper flakes and saute for another 30 seconds. Pour in wine and bring to a gentle boil.
- Step 2Add shellfish to the pot, cover, and cook for 8 minutes or until all have opened. (Transfer them to a bowl as they open to avoid overcooking; discard any that do not open.)
