Creating Shrimp and Mussels in Creamy Garlic Sauce can be straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Melt Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Sauté Garlic: Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add White Wine: If using, pour in the white wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
4. Incorporate Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, mixing well with the garlic and wine.
5. Season: Add paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Cook Mussels: Add the cleaned mussels to the skillet, covering it with a lid. Cook for about 5 minutes or until mussels open.
7. Add Shrimp: Once the mussels have opened, add the shrimp, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until shrimp turns pink and opaque.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
9. Serve: Once shrimp and mussels are cooked, remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
10. Plate: Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
