Steamed Mussels
Instructions
- Mussel shells should be tightly closed or close when lightly tapped. Clean just before cooking. To clean, scrub well to remove mud, seaweed and beard. Rinse well.
- Place mussels in a large kettle containing about 1/2 inch of water, beer, white wine, or clam juice. Bring to a boil and steam mussels tightly covered until shells open, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Discard any unopened mussels. Serve immediately with melted butter for dipping.
