McKenna and Meghan's Mussels

June 1, 2004

Ingredients

Two bottles of beer (we used Harpoon's special summer brew)
five large cloves of garlic
fresh lime juice from one lime
6 T. butter
3 lbs. fresh mussels

Instructions

Clean and debeard mussels. Place all ingredients except mussels in a large pot on the stove at medium-high heat. Once steam is rising from pot, place mussels inside. Steam mussels approximately five minutes, or until shells are open and meat has pulled away from edges of shell. Serve at once while mussels are still hot.

Serves 10 - 12 as an appetizer.
