GRILLED MUSSELS with GARLIC HERB BUTTER

Ingredients: (Enough for 2 as an appetizer, if serving four double the recipe)

• 2 lb of mussels
  
• 2 lemons
  
• 1 stick butter
  
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 1 large bunch parsley or herb of your choice, chopped
  
• Sea salt, fresh ground pepper to taste
  

Instructions

1. Prepare a grill for medium direct heat. While grill is heating up, Melt your butter over low heat. Add the garlic and herbs and let reduce down.
   
2. Grilling: If your grill grates skew to being far apart, you will need to put your mussels on a grill/veggies pan. If they are within a small enough apart, you can grill the mussels directly on the grates.
3. Grill the mussels until the pop open. This will be around 5 minutes or so… The ones that open move to a less-hot part of the grill while waiting on the others. Any mussels that don’t open should be thrown away.
   
4. Place the mussels in a big bowl and add sea salt and pepper.
5. Pour the butter over the mussels.
