3 Med shallots, sliced thin
6 Tbsp. butter
3 cloves Elephant Garlic, sliced (Mild form of garlic)
1.5-2 lb. Mussels (PEI)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil

When mussels are 1/2 open add remaining butter and continue steaming. When mussels are fully open and still plump, divide into 4 bowls or deep dishes for serving. It¹s best to use a slotted spoon, portion the mussels, and then pour the sauce over each. Discard any mussels that don't open.
