1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold running water. Scrub the shells with a brush 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 minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté until the shallots are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Add Wine
Pour in the white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
4
Season the Sauce
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Add in the chopped parsley and mix well.

5
Combine and Steam
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot with the sauce. Cover the pot and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

6
Plate the Dish
Carefully transfer the steamed mussels to a serving dish. Spoon the sauce over the mussels and garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
7
Enjoy
Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping in the sauce.
