Awesome Stuffed Mussels
This has to be the BEST ever recipe for mussels,I got this recipe several years ago from an acquaintance and I know it's a winner,I entered it into the seafood section of a contest and WON!!!!,I take it whenever a plate is required and no matter how many I make up I still hear the usual complaint "I never got any,can you make more next time" it doesn't matter that I may have made up 100 it's always NEVER ENOUGH!

Hi, think ahead and for the next time, recycle : ) , wash as many of the shells as poss, dishwasher can work ok, its a little tricky. Make the next batch in half shells and you can use your fav. marinated varieties of mussels, (remember to still drain really well, and you get a bit more of a bite because of the vinegar) or use the pre shelled fresh mussels. This makes it faster, ok they aren't really 'stuffed' anymore but there's no shelling to do. Have fun and Yum!
