Grilled Mussels With Curry Butter Recipes

CURRY GRILLED MUSSELS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium heat. Whisk together the coconut milk, curry powder, fish sauce, salt, red pepper flakes, lime zest and lime juice in a medium bowl.
• 2. Place 2 large pieces of heavy-duty foil from an 18-inch box on top of each other and put the mussels, garlic and onions on top. Fold the foil pieces upward to form a bowl or packet and pour the coconut milk mixture over the mussels. Close the packet, creating a seamless seal and leaving some space between the mussels and the top of the packet. Place on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the packet once.
• 3. While the mussels are cooking, brush the bread with the olive oil. Place a sheet of heavy-duty foil on the grill next to the mussels and add the bread slices. Grill until the slices begin to char, flipping halfway through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• 4. Remove the mussels from the grill and open the packet, being careful of steam. Pour the mussels and the liquid into a serving bowl, sprinkle with the cilantro and scallions and serve with the grilled bread.

GRILLED MUSSELS WITH CURRY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high medium-heat and lightly oil grate.
• Whisk together the butter, garlic, curry powder, cumin, and salt in a small bowl.
• Arrange four large sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface. Divide the mussels into four even portions and place one portion on each piece of foil. Dot the mussels with the curry mixture. Sprinkle the red bell pepper and parsley over the top of each portion. Top each with lime slices. Wrap foil tightly around the portions.
• Cook the packets on the preheated grill until the mussels have opened, 5 to 10 minutes. Discard any mussels which do not open.
• Transfer the mussels to small bowls and garnish each with a lime wedge to serve.

GRILLED MUSSELS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. In a small pot, melt butter over medium. Remove from heat and stir in parsley; set aside.
• Working in batches if necessary, place mussels on grill in a single layer. Place lemons, halved and lightly oiled, on grill, cut side down.
• Grill until mussels open and lemons are warmed through and browned, 5 minutes. With tongs, transfer mussels as they open to a large platter. (Discard unopened mussels.) Pour herb butter over mussels; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve with lemons.
