Shallot Substitutions

Shallots are part of the onion family and have a mild onion-garlic flavor. In place of 3 to 4 shallots, use 1 medium onion plus a pinch of garlic powder or (if you like the taste of garlic) 1 minced garlic clove.

Full-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a full-bodied white wine such as Chardonnay or Viognier.

I thought this was good, but my husband and daughter did not like it. I thought the flavor was good but I don't think I would say it was something out of an Italian restaurant.

I will definitely make this dish again. My husband and I agreed it reminded us of a meal in a fine restaurant.

OMG, this was delicious!!! Any restaurant would be lucky for such a quality dish. I left out the clam juice because I didn't have, but still, yum!
