1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold running water, scrubbing the shells with a brush to remove any dirt or barnacles. Remove the beards by pulling them off gently.
2
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

3
Prepare Scallions
Chop the scallions finely, separating the white part from the green part.
4
Sauté Garlic and White Scallions
In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and the white part of the scallions. Sauté until fragrant and soft, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Mix Toppings
In a mixing bowl, combine sautéed garlic and scallions, fried onions, roasted peanuts, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine.

6
Grill the Mussels
Place the cleaned mussels on the grill, shell side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes or until the shells open up.
7
Add Toppings
Once the mussels are opened, remove them from the grill and top each one with the prepared mixture of scallions, fried onions, and roasted peanuts.

8
Serve Hot
Serve the grilled scallion mussels immediately while hot. Garnish with the green part of the scallions if desired.
