Great recipe. The broth really makes the dish. The tarragon really adds a nice flavor. I used an extra clove of garlic and we added some peeled, deveined shrimp, which picked up a really good flavor from the steaming liquid. The crusty french bread is a nice addition. We'll make this again!

I added thick bacon cubes with olive oil as my base, then doubled the shallots and garlic! This rocked!!! The whole family was giving me raving reviews! OUTSTANDING!

I should have used more garlic & shallots. Overall, it was tasty.

I've made this recipe several times and it's super good every time, I used dried tarragon and it comes out just as good. I've also thrown some slightly undercooked linguini in the white wine sauce and cooked to al dente, threw in a couple mussels and some parmesan cheese and you have dinner! It's soooo good! I'm making it again this weekend!

Have been making this recipe for awhile now. So tasty & dipping the bread in the sauce is simply divine, making it tonight.

Made this exactly, but use dried terragon, and added diced celery and 2 more cloves of garlic. The sauce was a little watery and could have used a little more depth of flavor. Not sure what else could be added. Also added basil, and spinach.

I just tried this recipe out tonight, and loved the results. Simple, easy, quick. I substituted linguine for bread since I was in the mood for pasta, and added more garlic (5 cloves total. I opted for Pinot Grigio for the white wine base because I wanted something with a little bit more bite and complexity to combat the richness of the mussels than a Chardonnay would offer. Since I still have mussels left over, I might try my next batch tomorrow night with Sauvignon Blanc. I wonder if anyone else has had varied results based upon wine pairings?

after reading all the reviews, I decided to use this recipe, although it was very easy, I and my PG wife, who was craving mussels, were let down,. Last night we ate mussels from a thai restaurant that blew our mind, and now after eating 2 lbs of blah/bland tasting mussels, I am in trouble for not satisfying her cravings.......lol
honestly thought the sauce had no flavor to it

I just made this dish as an appetizer for a dinner party this past weekend and it turned out fabulous! I added extra of the seasonings and some tomatoes. I served it with Crostini and a great white wine. Everyone raved about it!
