1
Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Add Wine and Seasoning
Pour in the white wine and add the Old Bay seasoning. Bring to a simmer for about 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Cook the Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
5
Finish the Broth
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley before serving.
6
Serve
Ladle the mussels and broth into bowls and serve with toasted points alongside for dipping.
