Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

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

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add White Wine and Seasonings

    Pour in the white wine, add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mussels and Calamari

    Add the cleaned mussels and sliced calamari to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open and the calamari is tender.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley, and serve immediately with crusty bread.
