When the mussels are cleaned and ready to cook, heat a large pan or a wok on medium heat and add the butter.

Once the butter is melted, add the shallots and garlic, and gently saute for a few minutes until translucent.

Add the muscles and pour in the wine. Close a lid and cook the muscles for 2 to 3 minutes or until their shells are all open on high heat.

As the mussels cook, they release their flavored water into the pot. Remove the muscles on a large bowl using tongs, and return the pan to heat.

Add the double cream and freshly ground black pepper to the pan and let it boil for a few minutes then add the chopped parsley.

Return the mussels to the pan along with their liquid. Close the lid and return the pan to heat for another minute to finish cooking the mussels.

Give the pan a good shake making sure they are all covered with the creamy sauce. Discard any unopened mussels before serving.
