How to Make Mussels In Wine And Cream

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and shallots; cook until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Pour in water and white wine. Add bay leaf and parsley. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Add mussels to the skillet. Season with black pepper.
  4. Pour heavy cream over the mussels. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over medium-high heat.
  5. Once the liquid begins to steam, continue cooking, shaking the pan frequently, until most of the mussel shells have opened (about 3-4 minutes). Do not let the liquid boil vigorously.
  6. Discard any mussels that do not open. Remove from heat immediately.
  7. Serve immediately in bowls, spooning plenty of sauce over the mussels. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
