Another tried and true side dish fit for a backyard BBQ party. Most people who aren't accustomed to mussels get squeamish but as soon as a few brave souls dive in, the cache quickly disappears. This easily scales up to any quantity from dinner for one to feeding a good sized crew of friends and family.

Ingredients

8 New Zealand Mussels
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Tablespoon Garlic, coarsely chopped
2 Tablespoons Parmesan

Steps

  1. Place frozen mussels on grill. Continue to cook until fully thawed.
  2. Combine butter and garlic, heat in microwave for 30 seconds to melt.
  3. Pour out any melted liquid that may have pooled in the shell.
  4. Distribute garlic & butter mixture equally over mussels.
  5. Top each mussel with Parmesan cheese.
  6. Continue to grill with lid on until parmesan cheese is melted.
  7. Eat.
