Begin by cooking the french fries according to package instructions or your preferred method (frying, baking, or air frying). Keep them warm until serving.

Clean the Mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any that are open and do not close when tapped.

Sauté Aromatics

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Cook the Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, followed by the white wine. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, until the mussels begin to open.

Prepare the Chipotle Wine Cream Sauce

Once the mussels are opened, lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and chipotle peppers. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Finish and Serve

Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately alongside the warm fries. Enjoy your Mussels & Frites!
