Notes

Use fresh seafood whenever possible for the best flavor, and don't overcrowd the pot while cooking. Substitute mussels with clams or scallops if needed, and feel free to adjust the spice levels to suit your taste. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, and it’s best enjoyed fresh. Reheat gently to maintain texture. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal!
