Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the mussels

Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing 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, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced shallots, cooking until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Add wine and mussels

Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels, cover the pot, and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened.

4

Finish and serve

Remove the pot from heat. Discard any mussels that remain closed. Stir in fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
