My family doesn't care for seafood or spicy food, but sometimes I need to make something just for me. And this is a forever favorite.
Next time you have an evening to yourself, or a like-minded friend coming over for casual conversation, give this dish a whirl. So much flavor, easy to make, but presents like a major deal.
An easy recipe to enjoy with friends alongside pleasant conversation, or by yourself because sometimes that's important, too.

Yum! This looks delicious but is the cook time correct? Mussels and clams usually steam open in less than 10 minutes? Thanks for verifying— I’d love to try this recipe!
Thank you for this post! I looove mussels, but don’t know how to make them taste gourmet and delicious! I’ve been afraid to order them in restaurants since a 2017 incident, in which I quickly realized the entire batch tasted (in the grossest corners of my imagination) like bare feet freshly peeled out of sweaty socks. Can’t wait to try this!

It will depend on the grill. Mine moves a little slower, so adjust the time as you need. :)
That looks soooooooo delicious!
