Notes

  • Make sure your mussels are sealed before cooking, and likewise, make sure your mussels have opened after cooking! Any mussel other than that should be thrown away.
  • Make sure to follow how to clean mussels (above) before cooking.
  • Add in your favorite flavors to this recipe and make different mussels recipes every single time.
  • Make sure you drop the heat to medium low to low and cover your pot.
  • If you're working on an electric stove or your skillet is super hot, add in the juice of 1 lemon and water to equal 1/4 cup to the mussels skillet before covering it.
  • Serve mussels right away with bread, pasta, salad , rice on any which way.
  • It's best to eat mussels the same day, but if you can't, store them in the fridge for 2 days at most and reheat them before serving.
  • If you want to cook frozen mussels, follow the same way as this recipe.
