Instructions
- Saute the minced garlic in the olive oil over medium-low heat until golden (about 2 minutes).
- Add in the hot red pepper flakes and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the white wine and bring to a boil for 2 minutes.
- Turn the heat to medium-high and add the mussels to the pan and cover.
- Once the mussels open (about 3-5 minutes) remove the lid.
- Turn the heat down to low and add in the butter and parsley and stir it all together to get all of the garlic and parsley into the shells. After 1 minute remove the pan from the heat. Taste test the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread to mop up all of the sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Thoroughly clean and scrub the mussels. Look them over and remove any beards with a kitchen towel.
- Any mussels that do not open after 5-7 minutes of cooking time should be discarded as they are most likely dead.
- This dish is best eaten right away. Reheating leftover seafood in the microwave is not recommended. If you must reheat mussels do so in a saucepan on low heat.
