10 steps
Prep:15minCook:15min
Been meaning to cook mussels, but could not find anywhere that sold farmed fresh live mussels. For the recipe, i coincidentally saw the frozen precooked mussels and they had a tomato garlic butter one that was remade you just had to put it in a pot or something. Gave me a great idea to try it myself and came up with this.
