Instructions

Rinse and scrub mussels under cold running water, removing beards. Discard any that are cracked or remain open after a gentle tap.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add garlic, shallot, and red pepper flakes. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour in white wine and broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the mussels, stir to coat, and cover the pot with a lid.
Steam for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the pot once or twice, until mussels open. Discard any unopened ones.
Stir in fresh parsley, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot with lemon wedges and crusty bread.
