Method

Preheat the oven to 250°C.
Scrub the mussels and check that they are tightly closed or close when tapped. Discard any shells that do not close.
Finely chop garlic, shallots, and parsley, and mix them with softened butter and bread crumbs until you get a crumbly dough.
Steam the mussels in a dry pot with a lid over high heat until the shells open, about 4 minutes.
Discard any shells that do not open.
Remove the mussel meat and place it back into the half shells.
Sprinkle coarse salt in an ovenproof dish and place the halved shells in it with the meat side up.
Distribute the breadcrumb mixture over the shells, and bake until bubbling and golden on top, about 2-3 minutes in the oven.
