Directions:
1. Wash mussels under cool running water. Scrub the outside and debeard the mussels if present, pull fibrous beard towards the hinge of the shell to remove and discard.

2. In a large shallow stockpot heat butter over medium-high heat.

3. When butter starts to foam, add shallots and garlic. Stir and cook until shallots are transparent and garlic is soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Add wine, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, stir to combine. I added a little salt and pepper at this step.

5. Quickly add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover and steam for 3 minutes. Carefully open the lid and stir mussels.

6. Cover and steam until mussels are opened up and cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.

7. Taste the sauce. If desired, season with remaining lemon juice, zest, salt, and pepper to taste. Top mussels with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
