Shrimp and Fresh Mussels

This is one dish I can't live without.
About twice a year I must have this.
Fresh mussels steamed with shrimp in
a seasoned white wine and butter sauce.
I think I just drooled on my keyboard!

Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh mussels
40 frozen shrimp 20/pound
2 cups white wine
juice of one lemon plus zest
1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:
Place a large soup pot on high heat.
Add in mussels and then the wine,
lemon, and other seasonings.
Then add in the frozen shrimp.
Cover and cook until mussels open
and the shrimp turn red in color.
This should take about 5 minutes or so.
Garnish with more chives if desired.
