Marinade Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the PEI Blue Mussels under cold running water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt or debris. Remove the beards (the stringy bits) with your fingers or a knife.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mussels

    Preheat a grill or a large pot over medium heat. If grilling, place the mussels directly on the grill grates until they open, about 5-7 minutes. If using a pot, add the mussels and cover, cooking until they open, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the mussels from the heat. Discard any mussels that did not open. Serve hot with the marinade drizzled over the top.
