Notes

If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley works well too. You can use olive oil instead of butter for a lighter version. For an extra touch of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the stuffing. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Check for opened or damaged mussels and discard them before cooking. Freshness is key for the best results.
