Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the softened butter, pressed garlic, curry powder, cumin, and salt until thoroughly combined. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Lay out four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface. Divide the scrubbed and debearded mussels into four equal portions, placing one portion on each sheet of foil. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Evenly distribute the curry butter mixture over the mussels. Sprinkle the chopped red bell pepper and fresh parsley over each portion. Top with thin slices of lime. (7 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully wrap each foil sheet tightly around the mussel portions, creating sealed packets to trap the steam and flavors. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook until the mussels have opened, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open.

07

Step

Gently transfer the grilled mussels in their foil packets to small serving bowls. Garnish each bowl with a fresh lime wedge and serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine or coconut milk to each foil packet before sealing.
Ensure the grill is hot before adding the foil packets to achieve the best sear and flavor.
Serve immediately with warm, crusty bread for soaking up the delicious curry butter sauce.
