This Grilled Mussels Recipe makes a perfect seafood appetizer for many reasons. To name a few, it is delicious, easy to prepare, and budget friendly. I am used to do grilled mussels with butter, garlic, and cheese. I thought that it was the best thing that grilled (or baked) mussels can be – I just realized that this grilled mussels recipe is promising and as good as what I use to have.

While Grilled mussels require less cooking time, it is important that we clean them well before serving. This means scrubbing the shell and removing the hair like thing inside them – that hair is called the beard. I clean the mussels by using a brush or a scouring pad. The beard can be removed after the mussels are opened. The easiest way of opening them is by boiling. The shell automatically opens after the mussels boil for a few minutes. You can remove the beard on each piece once the temperature goes down.

I recommend this grilled mussels recipe to everyone. I find it great with white wine. I also love to eat it with my favorite soda crackers. Have you tried this Grilled Mussels Recipe yet?
