Serves: 6 servings Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds mussels, scrubbed
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shallots, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, diced
  • 2 cups dry white wine, Pinot Grigio
  • 2 shots tequila
  • 2 limes juiced
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 pound linguini pasta

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water over high heat to a boil for the pasta.  Add the linguini and cook according to the package directions for the tenderness you prefer.

While the water is heating add the butter and olive oil to a large skillet. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 2 minutes over medium low heat until they begin to soften.

Add the wine, tequila, lime juice, crushed red pepper and salt to the skillet. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the mussels to the skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes until the mussels have opened.

Drain the linguini and place in a large serving bowl or platter. Spoon the mussels and sauce over the pasta.
