Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the blue mussels under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Scrub the shells with a brush if necessary. Discard any mussels that are open or have broken shells.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Flavor Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add the Mussels

    Add the cleaned blue mussels to the pot with the sautéed garlic. Toss them with the Mr. & Mrs. Crab seasoning and lemon juice. Stir to combine.

  2. 4

    Steam the Mussels

    Cover the pot with a lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking.

  3. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the mussels are cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread or over pasta if desired.
