Return to flame for 30 to 45 seconds with top off skillet. Discard any mussels that did not open. Serve in a deep bowl. To clarify butter: Melt 1/2 stick butter over low heat. When melted, remove from heat and set aside for several minutes to allow the milk solids to settle to the bottom. Skim the clear (clarified) butter from the top and discard sediment.
