How do I ensure the shellfish are safe to eat?

Use fresh, live shellfish and discard any that do not open after cooking to ensure safety and freshness.

Can I substitute the white wine with a non-alcoholic option?

Yes, fish stock or a light vegetable broth can be used instead of white wine without compromising the flavor.

Fresh parsley adds freshness, while aromatics like garlic and shallots enhance the natural seafood taste.

Serve immediately in a large platter with lemon wedges and crusty bread to enjoy with the flavorful broth.

Adding a pinch of chili flakes during the sauté stage provides a subtle spicy kick without overwhelming the seafood.
