Rinse the mussels under cold water and inspect each one. Discard any mussels that are cracked, broken, or do not close when tapped.
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the chopped shallot and garlic to the pot, cooking until they are soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the dry white wine and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Season the broth with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, immediately covering with a lid. Allow them to steam for 5-7 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the mussels with freshly chopped parsley.
Gently toss the mussels in the broth to coat them evenly.
Serve the mussels in bowls with a generous ladle of the white wine broth. Garnish with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
