I love mussels, and since I don’t workout I have to settle for the ones from the sea.
Mussels are really easy to fix and they look amazing with their shiny black shells.
I recently fixed this version on a night when we had a guest right up until dinner time, because it literally takes less than ten minutes.
I buy my mussels from a local seafood market. They only cost $2.99 per pound, they get them fresh daily, and the shells are already cleaned so I don’t have to remove the beard and get rid of the sand.
Mussels make a great Date Night appetizer or entree.
Ingredients
2 pounds of Mussels (Entree for two)
1 Can of Rotel (Diced tomatoes, green chilis)
Cilantro
1 Lime halved
Instructions
Use a large saute pan, sauce pan or wok with lid. Use high heat, pour the rotel into the pan, add the mussels (Discard any that are already opened). Cover with lid. The mussels should steam open in three to five minutes. As soon as the shells open they are ready.
Plate the mussels on a deep plate or bowl. Pour rotel over top and garnish with cilantro and half a lime. Squeeze the lime over the mussels just prior to eating. (I served Valerie’s over a bed of yellow rice. I’m cutting carbs so I just had mussels).
This is Fun, Fancy, but REALLY Easy! I hope you enjoy it!
