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

1. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, minced garlic, curry powder, ground cumin, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Wrap the foil tightly around the mussels to create sealed packets.
6. 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.
7. Carefully open the foil packets and transfer the mussels to small bowls. Garnish each serving with a lime slice.
8. Serve immediately with warm, crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy the vibrant flavors of this delightful dish!
