4 large cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
26 ounce jar of Bertolli's pasta sauce with olives

Steps:

In a large pot of boiling water cook pasta according to package directions. In the mean time, in a large non-stick skillet, saute the garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add shrimp and cook until just pink in the center. Set aside. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the mussels until they open, about 6 minutes. Discard any that do not open. While the mussels and pasta are cooking, using the same skillet used to cook the shrimp, heat the pasta sauce, clams with juice, diced tomatoes with juice. Bring to a simmer, do not boil. When the mussels are done, shuck and add to sauce. Just before the pasta is done, add the shrimp to the sauce to heat. Serve sauce over pasta.
