Gulf Coast Steamed Mussels Bowl

Method

1. Start by prepping your olive oil, lemon, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the garlic in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the steamed mussels and let it golden, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the flat-leaf parsley and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with flaky sea salt and a final crack of pepper.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
