1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the PEI mussels under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Mince Garlic and Shallots
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves and shallots. Set aside.
3
Chop Parsley
Wash and chop the fresh parsley, ensuring to separate the leaves from the stems.

4
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallots, sautéing until they are fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Deglaze with Wine
Pour in the white wine and water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
6
Add Mussels
Once the liquid is boiling, add the cleaned PEI mussels to the pot. Cover with a lid and steam for 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened.
7
Season and Serve
Remove the pot from heat, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the broth.
