Directions
- Put the mussels in a large saucepan with a splash of water. Cook over a high heat and remove to a plate as they open. Discard any that don't open.
- When cool, remove the top shells from each mussel and place them on a baking tray.
- Release the mussels and check for crabs. Place a mussel in each clean top shell. This makes for easy eating. Strain the cooking juices and spoon a little over each mussel. Cover and refrigerate if not cooking immediately.
- Crumbs: combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, paprika, parsley and chilli flakes in a bowl. In another bowl, combine the butter, zest and garlic then pour over crumbs and stir well so they are all damp with the butter.
- Preheat the grill to its highest setting.
- Place a spoonful of crumbs over each mussel then drizzle with a little olive oil.
- Place under the grill for 1-2 minutes until the crumbs are golden. Serve immediately.
