Mussels in White Wine Sauce
Mussels in a white wine sauce is a quick, flavorful seafood dish made with wine, garlic and cream.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Mussels cleaned & de-bearded
- 2 Shallots sliced
- 4 garlic cloves sliced
- ¼ tsp Red pepper flakes
- 4 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 cup White wine
- ½ c Heavy cream
- Pinch Salt
- 2 Rosemary sprigs
- 1 tbsp parsley Chopped
- Lemon juice optional
- Sliced toasted french bread for dipping
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet or pan over medium heat on the stove. Add in the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes. Sautee for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add in the heavy cream and stir. Turn the heat to medium high.
- Carefully add the mussels in and top with the wine, salt and rosemary. Give it a good stir. By now the sauce should be boiling. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Here is when I typically will toast the bread with some olive oil in the oven or an air fryer.
- After 5 minutes remove the lid on the mussels and all the mussels should be open. Top with the parsley and a squeeze of lemon if you’d like.
- Serve immediately in a bowl with the bread. Eat and enjoy!
