This recipe for my Steamed Mussels with White Wine and Garlic may just be the easiest, quickest and tastiest dish out there! You can enjoy as an appetizer with crusty bread, or make as a meal and pour over top your favorite pasta. Either way, you are not going to believe the flavor you can create in just about fifteen minutes from start to finish!
It is not always necessary, but I do like to clean my mussels prior to steaming. Pick through the mussels and discard any that are open prior to cleaning. Place mussels in a bowl with a bit of cold water and a touch of flour for a few minutes. The mussels will ingest the flour and spit it out along with any sand and/or grit. Rinse thoroughly. For a complete “how-to,” check out my blog on How to Clean Clams.
HOW TO PREPARE STEAMED MUSSELS WITH WHITE WINE AND GARLIC
Melt the butter in a deep pan. Add in the garlic, shallots, red pepper flakes, kosher salt and black pepper. Allow the garlic and shallots to just infuse the butter and soften. This should take about three minutes. Do NOT brown or burn.
Pour in the white wine and clam juice. Turn up the heat enough to bring the mixture to a heavy simmer. Toss in the rinsed mussels and place lid.
Mussels will only take only a minute or so, to open and be fully cooked. Steaming too long may cause the mussels to become chewy. Check for any mussels that fail to open. Discard immediately. Stir in the fresh parsley, lemon zest and fresh lemon juice.
Toss to coat in the sauce and serve these fabulous Steamed Mussels with White Wine and Garlic! ENJOY!

I am more than just recipes. I love fashion and style too! Most importantly, I love my Family (my Hubby and my Fur Babies). My Husband (aka my “Kitchen Bitch”) means the world to me. He’s pretty damn cool too. Not only is he one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, he also has had a lengthy career in professional hockey. Not only winning two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the early ’90’s, but most recently winning the Calder Cup with the Charlotte Checkers, amongst many other accolades. If you live in Charlotte and play hockey, or have a family member who plays, be sure to contact him. He is known as one of the best skate sharpeners in the world!
Our life has changed dramatically in the past few years with the passing of our two goldendoodles, Vegas and Viva. We were lucky enough to have Vegas for five years (totally wish it was longer). Most recently, losing our Viva to a brain tumor in July of 2020. We welcomed our mini goldendoodle 7, almost seven years ago. We just added the amazing Hazel! Of course, I am always posting tons and tons of photos! Be sure to check out my recipe for Pet Bone Broth! This broth is super rich in nutrients and will provide your pet with a multitude of health benefits!
