Sautéed Mussels

Mussels* are one of my most favourite among all seafood.Sautéed Mussels is a very quick and simple to prepare dish using mussels.I have not used very many spices because mussels themselves have a very nice and a distinct flavour of their own which i didnt want to alter

* Slender black bivalve mollusks with a blue inner shell and they live attached to rocks and other hard surfaces along coastal areas in many parts of the world.
