Steamed Mussels
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. Right after cooking, the mussels can be marinated in your favorite spices; you can add sauce, lemon juice, or pickled onion — whatever your heart desires. These mussels are great both in a salad and simply as an appetizer.

Add lemon juice to the mussels. I like a touch of tartness in seafood; it pairs very well with mussels. Serve the mussels.
