Easy to make, but should be done right before serving. Serve with crusty bread or toasted tortillas. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons shallots, minced |
2 lbs mussels, fresh, scrubbed |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1/4 cup tequila, light |
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
1/4 cup cilantro, fresh, minced |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a very large sauce pan(must be able to hold all of the mussels). Add the garlic and shallots and saute until translucent. Add the next 4 ingredients(not the cilantro) and continue to cook or about 6 minutes(shake the pan once in a while) or until the mussles open. Add the cilantro and shake to combine. Remove any mussels that did not open. Serve.
