Drescription

This mussels recipe is seriously delicious and one of the quickest shellfish preparations known to man. Bring a flavorful, wine-based broth to a boil, add mussels, and cover; cook until they open, and eat. That's it! Serve with grilled bread for a perfect way to mop up the broth.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 2 cups white wine
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds mussels, cleaned and debearded
  • 1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add garlic and let sizzle for about 30 seconds. Stir in lemon zest and red pepper flakes for about 45 seconds.
  3. Quickly pour wine into the pot and season with black pepper. Bring sauce to a boil; add mussels and cover immediately. Shake pot and let boil for 1 minute.
  4. Stir mussels, replace cover, and let boil for 2 more minutes. The shells will begin to open. Stir in parsley, cover, and cook until all shells are open, 1 to 3 minutes.
  5. Serve and enjoy!
