* Exported from MasterCook * Mussels in Green Sauce Recipe By : Joanne van Roden Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Fareshare Chat 052 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 4 pounds mussels -- scrubbed & debearded 1/2 cup parsley (or more) -- chopped 6 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic -- crushed or minced 1/2 teaspoon salt Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add parsley, garlic, and salt. Simmer 2 - 3 minutes. Add mussels, cover and cook 5- 10 minutes; or until shells open. Serve (shells and all) in sauce, poured over spaghetti. TIP : Mussels are delicious. They're inexpensive, probably because of the time involved in cleaning them -- it's worth it! Scrub them well under running water, and scrape off their beards with a knife. Discard any mussel that doesn't close when handled. Art's notes: We love fresh mussels over pasta. Most of the time, however, we add tomatoes to the sauce. You should also consider using a mixture of fresh parsley, basil and/or cilantro in this dish. We would also add black pepper to the dish. When eating mussels in the shell, use the separated shells as an implement to separate the other mussels from their shells.

* Exported from MasterCook * Quick Shrimp and Mushrooms Recipe By : Joanne van Roden Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Fareshare Chat 052 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp -- shelled and deveined 3 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons sherry 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons oil 4 stalks celery (and leaves) -- sliced 3 scallions (and green tops) -- sliced 1/2 pound mushrooms -- sliced Put shrimp in a bowl. Combine soy sauce, sherry, and salt. Pour over shrimp and mix through. Let sit 15 minutes or longer. Heat a frying pan. Add oil. Add celery and scallions and stir over high heat for 3 minutes. Add mush- rooms and shrimp. Stir and cook until shrimp turn pink; about 3 - 5 minutes. TIP : When preparing shrimp, always time the meal so they can be served as soon as they are finished cooking. Many times, I cook them while we are eating our salads or other first courses. This ensures they will be hot, juicy and tasty. We would add garlic to this recipe, of course.

[Art] Sure, but the marinating might not take. You may have to adjust the cooking part of the recipe to pick up the flavors. [] Toss the garlic into the pan when the shrimp go in.
