Watch how to make this recipe

I love using the heat of the grill to open shellfish
3
I think they come out as juicy as if they were roasted in the oven
4
The flavors of garlic, parsley and mint make this a great opener to a meal or a nice side dish or nibble
5
The crunch of the bread crumbs is also a great texture contrast to the mussels and the flavors evoke the natural sweetness of the mussels
6
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium
7
Heat a large skillet over low heat and add the olive oil
8
When the oil is warm add the garlic
9
Stir the garlic with a wooden spoon and season with salt, to taste
10
Give the garlic a minute to "melt" into the oil but do not let it brown
11
Stir in the bread crumbs, parsley and mint
12
Taste for seasoning, Set aside
13
When the grill is hot, scatter the mussels on the grill in a single layer
14
Have a pair of tongs and a large platter ready
15
As the mussels open, use the tongs to remove them from the grill onto a platter
16
When they are all opened, squeeze the juice from the lemons over them and spoon the bread crumb mixture into the shells
17
Serve immediately
