Spaghetti with mussel and prawns
Recently, I called my grandma and grandpa, but I always heard that I ate fat crabs.
Fortunately, before leaving Wuhan this year, I rushed to the new market with crabs. Although they were not so fat, they could be regarded as eating two and were not so indebted.
Every year when they owe me crabs, I eat fresh mussels with Big T here.
T likes to eat cooked food. Anyway, Dutch and Belgian styles are the most common. But it is precisely because it is most common that every restaurant does it at this time, and they are all somewhat different, making it difficult to give an accurate definition of what is Dutch style and what is Belgian style.
Celery, carrots and green onions are usually used as flavor supplements, and heavy cream such as Crèmefraîche is added. The wine is usually white wine or beer.
We prefer to use beer, especially Flensburger Dunkel. We don't like wine alone. We throw out all the unburned mussels. But the mussels cooked with it are strong and fresh, and they are rushed to eat.
I make boiled mussels, and I also like pasta or salad made with fried mussels. I like to use basil and rosemary as the main spices, add tomatoes to season the stir-fried mussels, and add a few prawns. It is very fragrant.

After making such delicious mussels, when you call grandma and grandpa again, you can confidently say that you have eaten mussels as fresh and delicious as crabs here (*^__^*)

Mussels are also called mussel and sea rainbow.

Mussel has high nutritional value and certain medicinal value. Mussel has a protein content of up to 59%, which contains 8 essential amino acids, a fat content of 7%, and most of them are unsaturated fatty acids. In addition, mussel is also rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamin B, niacin, etc. Because mussel is rich in nutrients, its nutritional value is higher than that of ordinary shellfish, fish, shrimp, meat, etc., and it has a positive effect on promoting metabolism and ensuring nutrient supply for brain and body activities. Therefore, some people call mussel "eggs in the sea". (From Baidu Encyclopedia http://baike.baidu.com/view/128805.htm)

  • Spaghetti with mussel and prawns Make Tips

    I chose Maccaroni because I felt that this shape would be more suitable. It's actually the same for other pasta. When loading, if it is inconvenient to have too many shells, just pick out the mussel meat. I don't sell fresh tiger back shrimps. I use frozen ones. It's best to use fresh ones, which are fresher.
