Dijon mustard has a unique flavor not found in other mustards.
If you don't like clams, you can substitute additional crabmeat or baby shrimp for the clams.

If you don't want to use white wine, you can substitute chicken or vegetable broth.

Try using fresh chopped parsley instead of dried parsley.
