• Give the clams a good scrubbing, discarding any with cracked or open shells. Set aside. Heat the oil over medium-high in a pan that you can cover later. Throw in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the clam juice, wine, and Mutha Sauce. When the mixture is bubbling, add the clams. Cover and cook til the clams open, 3 to 5 minutes. Pull out the clams as they open, and keep them warm. (Pitch any clams that don't open.)
• Boil and reduce the pan juices over high heat for about 8 minutes. Sprinkle in the red pepper and season up the sauce with Worcestershire.
• Toss in the shrimp and scallops. Simmer til they're cooked and have just turned opaque, about 4 minutes. Swirl in the cream and basil. Return the clams to the pan, and gently stir together all the shellfish. Sprinkle with parsley and serve steaming hot.
