Mussels & Chorizo

After returning from Big Sur last week, we were out on the pier at Port St. Luis and BJ's had the Japanese clams we love. We bought a couple pounds and served clams and chorizo that night. This is one of our favorites. It ends up being two meals in one. After the clams and chorizo are consumed, you can easily eat a half of loaf of bread sopping up the remaining stock. We've posted the recipes as Mussels & Chorizo, but the shellfish substitution is obvious.
