1
Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water and scrub the shells to remove any debris. Remove the beards (the fibrous strands) by pulling them towards the hinge of the mussel.
2
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced shallots, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3
Add Wine and Mussels
Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the prepared mussels to the pot and cover with a lid.
4
Cook the Mussels
Steam the mussels for about 5-7 minutes, or until they open up. Discard any mussels that do not open.
5
Season and Serve
Stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Serve the mussels in bowls with the broth, and enjoy!
