0.5

1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g)

3 large shallots (3 ounces; 85g), finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)

6 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced

2 cups (240ml) dry white wine

1 tablespoon (9g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use half as much by volume or the same weight

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

4 pounds (1.8kg) fresh mussels, scrubbed (about 60 mussels), see notes

3 teaspoons grated lemon zest (4g) plus 4 tablespoons (60ml) fresh juice (from 1 lemon)

4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 recipe Perfect Thin and Crispy French Fries or your preferred frozen fries

Mayonnaise, for serving

In a 6- to 8-quart Dutch oven or large pot set over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until very softened but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes.

Increase heat to high, add wine, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Stir in mussels; cover and cook over high, shaking and tossing the pot at 1 minute intervals, until mussels are opened, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat (see notes); stir in lemon zest and juice and parsley. Serve with French fries and mayonnaise.
