For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of cream or a knob of butter at the end. Feel free to substitute the green onions with shallots for a more intense flavor. Ensure the mussels are tightly closed before cooking. If any are open, tap them gently; they should close. Discard any that remain open. Serve with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth. This recipe works equally well with clams. Simply substitute the mussels with an equal amount of fresh clams.
