A few months ago, when my boss was in town, we went out to eat at Anchor and Hope<\/a> in San Francisco. I had the “Mediterranean Seafood Stew” with mussles, chorizo meatballs, and harissa lobster broth. From the first bite I knew that it didn’t taste like what I’d expected it to taste. Don’t get me wrong, it was very yummy.. but my taste buds remembered a different taste.. and I was slightly disappointed not to get it. I spend a few days after that dinner trying to figure out where I’d had seafood stew before. It’s not something I’d normally order. The whole while I was haunted by this memory of the super yummy stew and I wanted to have it again.<\/p>\n

Finally I figured it out. Last year, while in LA we had dinner at Bubba Gumps. Yeah, you heard me, Bubba Gumps. While we were there I had their “Shrimpin Dippin Broth<\/a>“. The dipping sauce was very memorable. <\/p>\n

Finally I read a recent article in the Clean Eating Magazine from September\/October that described “Garlicky Mussels” (p. 40) which looked lovely.. except for the cilantro. I’m one of “those” people. To me, cilantro tastes like soap. But, based on that it looked like it wouldn’t be terribly hard to “clean up” Bubba Gump’s Shimpin’ dippin’. So.. this recipe is kind of my own invention.. a melding of the three dishes. I made it tonight and OMG totally in heaven.<\/p>\n
