- 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger root
- ¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

- Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add shallots, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and salt and saute until shallots are lightly browned.
- Add wine, lemon and most of the parsley reserving some for garnish. Bring to a boil then add mussels, cover pot, and cook until the mussels pop open.
- Discard any mussels that didn't open. Remove mussels from pan and cook down sauce to desired consistency (I prefer it a little more watery).
- Salt and pepper to taste and spoon sauce over mussels.
