Description

 

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh cultured blue mussels.
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions


  1. Rinse fresh blue mussels in tap water. Discard any mussel that does not close when tapped.

  2. Place fresh blue mussels around the outside edge of a large plate and microwave on high for 1½ minutes or until they all open. Time will vary depending on your microwave. If you like to dip your mussels in melted garlic butter, place about 2 tbsp of butter in a small bowl, add 1 clove of minced garlic. Place the small bowl in the middle of the microwave plate. The garlic butter will be ready the same time as your mussels.

  3. Remove mussels and pour garlic butter over them or dip mussels into garlic butter as you remove them from the shell.
