Honey Tips

How Honey is Made

To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.

Directions

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add mussels, cover and continue boiling until all mussels open, about 5 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open. Transfer mussels to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
Bring wine mixture back to a boil and add scallops, sea bass pieces, and shrimp. Simmer about 4 minutes until shrimp turn pink and scallops and sea bass are just cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer seafood to the bowl with the mussels.
Strain the cooking liquid through a fine sieve into a large skillet. Add mushrooms to liquid and bring to a boil simmering about 8 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and continue simmering 6 minutes. Add all seafood to the skillet and cook until just heated.
Ladle into 4 bowls and sprinkle with parsley.
