Steamed Mussels for One
User rating:





This hearty seafood dish is bursting with flavor and is as fun to prepare and eat as it is tasty. I always eat steamed mussels served with generous slices of French bread.

- Wash all the mussels, and scrub them if they seem at all gritty. Scrape away any beard.
- Chop up the shallot, toss it into a large heavy pot, and pour in the wine. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes, to reduce the wine slightly, then dump in all the mussels.
- Cover the pot, and cook over brisk heat until all the shells have opened (if any have remained firmly shut after the rest have opened, discard them).
- Carefully pour in to a warm bowl and serve immediately.
