It doesn't get much easier than this. Living in Florida I always have fresh seafood at my fingertips. So when my wife shows up after school with a few hungry friends in tow, this big bowl of yummy makes it to the table before they can all wash their hands and tuck in!

Add the mussels and cover. Cook 10 minutes or until mussels have all opened.

While the mussels are cooking, add all the remaining ingredients except the parsley to a saucepan and reduce by half.
