Instructions
- Prep Mussels: Soak 2 pounds fresh mussels in cold water 30 minutes prior to cooking.
- Sauté: In a deep sauté pan, add 6 tablespoons butter and let melt. Add ¼ cup shallots, 3-4 teaspoons garlic, and 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Let shallots sweat and soften - about 3 minutes while continuously stirring.
- Combine: Add ¾ cup dry white wine, 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Let simmer about 5 minutes. Add ¼ cup unflavored Nutpods, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, and ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (if using). Taste and adjust any salt, as desired. Stir and let gently simmer another 2 minutes.
- Simmer Mussels: Add mussels and cover immediately - let simmer for 2 minutes or until mussels open.
- Serve: Spoon mussels into shallow bowl, pour sauce over the top and serve with grilled bread and lemon wedge.
Notes
- Mussels: I highly recommend using fresh mussels, purchased the same day as cooking.
- Pan: make sure you are using a pan that has a cover that fits tightly.
