1
Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub 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 or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallots, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
3
Add Mussels
Pour in the white wine and increase the heat to high. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.
4
Season and Serve
Remove the pot from heat, and stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, with your choice of marinara, fra diavlo, or white sauce.
