Beer Steamed Mussels (Moules Marinieres)

Simmered in crisp Belgian beer and seasoned with shallots, garlic and parsley, these steamed mussels, or moules marinieres, could not be easier to make at home. Pair them with fries for homemade moules frites that will transport straight to Belgium, or serve them with a warm baguette to sop up all that delicious broth.
