Step 1
Begin by assembling all your ingredients for a seamless cooking experience.
Step 2
In a spacious stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat, allowing it to bubble gently.
Step 3
Introduce the minced garlic, letting it sizzle for about 30 seconds until it releases a delightful aroma.
Step 4
Next, stir in the vibrant lemon zest and a pinch of red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 45 seconds to enhance the flavors.
Step 5
Swiftly pour in the white wine, seasoning with freshly ground black pepper, and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 6
Carefully add the cleaned mussels to the pot, covering it immediately.

Give the pot a gentle shake and let it boil for one minute.

Afterward, stir the mussels, replace the lid, and allow them to boil for another two minutes, during which the shells will begin to open.
Step 9
Toss in the chopped parsley, cover the pot once more, and cook until all the mussels have fully opened, which should take about one to three minutes.
