Serving Size: 4
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter
- 2 Whole garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) curry powder
- 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) cumin, ground
- 1 Pinch salt, to taste
- 2 Pounds (lb) mussels, scrubbed
- 1 Cup red bell pepper, julienned
- 0.25 Cup fresh parsley, torn
- 1 Whole lime, sliced
Steps
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, minced garlic, curry powder, ground cumin, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface. Divide the mussels into 4 equal portions, placing each portion in the center of a foil sheet.
- Dot the mussels evenly with the curry butter mixture. Sprinkle each portion with julienned red bell pepper and torn fresh parsley. Top with lime slices.
- Wrap the foil tightly around the mussels to create sealed packets.
- Place the foil packets on the preheated grill. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.
- Carefully open the foil packets and transfer the mussels to small bowls. Garnish each serving with a lime slice.
- Serve immediately with warm, crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy the vibrant flavors of this delightful dish!
