Method
Mussels Preparation
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the fresh mussels under cold water and scrub the shells to remove any sand or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
Cook the Chorizo
In a large pot over medium heat, add the chorizo sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Add Mussels and Cream
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot with the cooked chorizo. Pour in the heavy cream and cover the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
Add Corn and Cilantro
Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the corn and half of the chopped cilantro. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
