Method

1. Steam the fresh mussels on a high heat in a large pot just until the shells open. Do not overcook.
2. If you are using frozen half-shell mussels, let them thaw completely and cook for 1-2 minutes.
3. Remove the mussels from their shells.
4. Coat the mussels in the BBQ sauce and season well with salt and black pepper.
5. Skewer 6 – 8 mussels lengthwise onto the wooden skewers.
6. Lightly grill the mussels over hot coals for 40 seconds to 1 minute per side.
7. Remove from the fire, squeeze over some lemon juice, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

A little tip: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about an hour before skewering, to stop them from splintering.
