Ensure the mussels are fresh and tightly closed before cooking. If any are open, tap them gently; if they don't close, discard them. Do not overcook the mussels, as they will become rubbery. They are done as soon as they open. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic along with the shallots. Adjust the amount of black pepper to your preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also add a subtle kick. Serve immediately to enjoy the mussels at their best.
